Marina is a feminine given name. It is the female version of the Roman family name Marinus, which is a form of the Latin name Marius. The meaning of Marius might be connected to Mars, the Roman god of war, or with the Latin word maris, meaning virile. It also later became associated with the Latin word marinus, meaning "of the sea".[1]
