Marie is the French form of Mary — from the Hebrew Miriam (uncertain; possibly "beloved" or "bitter"). Marie Skłodowska Curie (1867-1934) was the Polish-French physicist and chemist who discovered radium and polonium; coined the term "radioactivity"; and remains the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences (Physics 1903 with husband Pierre and Henri Becquerel; Chemistry 1911 alone). First woman to win a Nobel; first person and only woman to win twice; only person to win in two scientific fields. Her daughter Irène Joliot-Curie also won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Subject of Eve Curie's Madame Curie (1937) and Marjane Satrapi's Radioactive (2019 film).
Marie does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Marie reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
