MEANING & HISTORY
What does Maryjane mean?
Maryjane is explicitly described in the English dictionary as a combination of Mary and Jane. Its joined spelling is the distinguishing feature: a name that appears as one written unit can still preserve two identifiable name components.
Jane belongs historically to the John family through a medieval French and English route. The formation should not be translated as a single sentence, nor should the source relationship be used to insert a space into a person's chosen spelling.
