Ann (grace, favour) - this is the name traditionally assigned to the mother of the Virgin Mary, though she is not mentioned in the Bible. The name was borne by a 17th-century English queen and also by the second wife of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn (the mother of Queen Elizabeth I), who was eventually beheaded in the Tower of London. This is also the name of the heroine in 'Anne of Green Gables' by Canadian author L. M. Montgomery.
Marie from Mary (bitter) - Usual English form of Maria, which was the Latin form of the New Testament Greek names Μαριαμ (Mariam) or Μαρια (Maria) (the spellings are interchangeable), which were from the Hebrew name מִרְיָם (Miryam). The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from mry "beloved" or mr "love". This is the name of several New Testament characters, most importantly Mary the virgin mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene. Two queens of England have had this name, as well as a Queen of Scotland, Mary Queen of Scots.

It's a made up name From Hannah or Ann or Mary.The Marie is almost certainly a French version of Mary( Marie Antoinette)While Ann is a more anglicised name( or Anne).The changed spelling of names is quite common as parents look for a degree of individuality when choosing their children's names..

Well it is of course a combination of two separate names.
Ann is English in origin and Marie is French and a form of the name Mary

Ann means gracious and Marie is after MAria - the Virgin Mary.
