btw, is Maren used as a frisian or dutch form of Maria?
in reply to a message by laurea (nsi)
There are quite a few places that say so and BTN lists only the danish usage

The Nederlandse Voornamen Databank says it is a Danish & Dutch form of Marina. http://www.meertens.knaw.nl/voornamen/VNB/index.php?act=zoeken&zoekopdracht=moeilijk&start=0&op=bw&naam=maren&-Search=Zoek%21&-Search=
