A name that means "goddess of winter and death".

Marzanna is the Polish-Slavic goddess of winter, death, and rebirth. Every spring equinox in Poland, an effigy of Marzanna is drowned in the river to welcome spring — one of Poland's oldest pre-Christian traditions still practiced today.

Marzanna is rare as a given name but evocative.

Polish goddess of winter. Drowned each spring.

Where Marzanna stands.

Marzanna does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
