Bitter; beloved; drop of the sea
Maryse is the French diminutive form of Marie, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Miryam. While the exact etymology is debated, it is most commonly associated with meanings of bitterness, rebellion, or a drop of the sea. In French culture, it has a sophisticated, mid-century charm.
