Maid Mariann.

Brit.

/ˈmeɪd ˈmarɪən/, U.S.

/ˈmeɪd ˈmɛriən/

Forms: 1500s Made Maryen, 1500s Made Maryon, 1500s Mawd Marion, 1500s Mayde Marion, 1500s Mayde Marrian, 1500s Mayde Maryan, 1500s Mayde Maryon, 1500s Mayd Marian, 1500s– Maid Marion, 1600s Maid Marrian, 1600s Mayde Marryan, 1600s Mayd Marion, 1600s Mayd Maryan, 1600s–1700s Maid Marrion, 1600s–1700s Maid Morion, 1600s– Maid Marian. In early use also with varying word division and capitalization.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: maid n.¹, proper name Marian.

Etymology: < maid n.¹ + the female forename Marian (see Marian n.²).The reasons for the use of this name are uncertain: it may have been adopted ultimately from the tradition of Old French pastoral lyric. For a summary of the evidence see R. Hutton Stations of the Sun (1996) 274–5.

a. Until the mid 18th cent. (now historical): a female character in the morris dance and May game; the person (usually a man or boy) who plays this character.In the later forms of the story of Robin Hood she appears as the companion of the outlaw, the association having probably been suggested by the fact that both were represented in the May Day pageants, Maid Marian in the morris and Robin Hood in the May game.The Staffordshire Horn dance is not a morris dance. The dance is of some antiquity, but the character was not so named until the 19th cent.Quot. a1699 is misquoted by Johnson, who as a consequence explains Maidmarian as ‘a kind of dance’, an error which is copied in later dictionaries.
