Pronunciation

Proper noun

Maarit

  1. a female given name
    • 1941, Helvi Hämäläinen, Säädyllinen murhenäytelmä, WSOY, published 2007, →ISBN, page 388:
      Maarit-nimi oli Elisabetin valitsema. Tohtori oli korrektisti hyväksynyt sen, kasvoillaan tuo erikoinen liikkumattomuus, joka niille nousi usein nykyään.
      The name Maarit was picked by Elisabet. The doctor had been politically correct in accepting it, with his face motionless, an expression they often got these days.
    • 1964, Kalle Päätalo, Ennen ruskaa, Gummerus, page 262:
      —Vaikka toisaalta Maarit kuulostaa romanttiselta...Kyllä me sittenkin tehdään tytöstä Maarit Anne. Se on erikoista...Katsohan vain, niin malttavatko tuttavien rouvat olla, etteivät laita samaa nimeä muksuilleen.
      —Even though Maarit does sound romantic...we will after all name her Maarit Anne. It's special...just see whether the women we know can hold themselves back to not give the same name to their kids.

Usage notes

  • Used as a rendering of the Sami name Máret, therefore sometimes perceived as a Sami name, though the overwhelming majority of the name-bearers are Finnish speakers.
