I believe the meaning is "one who has boats parked in her"
Actually, it is a Russian name meaning sea maiden, so close.

Marina is thought to derive either from
(1) the feminine form of the Latin marinus - of the sea
or
(2) from the name Marcus which itself is probably from Mars, the Roman God.

Marina comes from Italian and Spanish - the femine of "marino" meaning "belonging to the sea" which is derived from the Latin "marnus" and derivative of "mare" meaning "sea."
Mary is originally from the Hebrew name Miryam.
