Marilyn is an international feminine name that became a cultural icon primarily through the legendary film actress Marilyn Monroe. The name Marilyn is a modern American form that evolved from the name Mary, which has Hebrew and biblical roots. Mary is a variation of Miriam, an ancient biblical name belonging to the sister of Moses and Aaron. The suffix "-lyn" was added to give the name a soft, feminine, and modern nuance, characteristic of many American names from the 20th century. The name combines ancient tradition with contemporary aesthetics, representing a bridge between the biblical world and modern Western culture. In Hebrew culture, the name Marilyn is perceived as an elegant and sophisticated international name. It carries connotations of charm, beauty, and stardom, primarily due to the strong cultural association with Marilyn Monroe, who became an icon of femininity, sensuality, and Hollywood glamour. Although the name is not directly biblical, its Hebrew root - Miriam - gives it historical and cultural depth. In Israel, the name Marilyn is chosen by parents seeking an international name that is recognizable in both Hebrew and English, conveying elegance and modernity. The name is particularly suitable for families with connections to Western culture or for those who appreciate the blend of tradition and contemporaneity. Linguistically, Marilyn combines two elements: "Mary" and "-lyn" (Lynn). Mary comes from the Hebrew name Miriam, whose meaning carries various interpretations - "marah" (bitterness), "mered" (rebellion), or "may yam" (waters of the sea). The suffix "lyn" is English and means "lake" or "waterfall," but in modern names it serves primarily as a decorative suffix that adds softness and femininity. The name Marilyn represents the 20th-century American trend of creating hybrid names that combine traditional elements with new sounds. Today, the name carries a rich cultural legacy and symbolizes a golden era of Hollywood, while also being suitable as a contemporary choice for parents seeking a unique name with international presence.
