"Marit is a nod to Evan’s nordic heritage. He has a lot of Swedish and Nordic blood in him, and he studied Norwegian language and literature in college. We knew we were interested in a Scandinavian name that wasn’t TOO Scandi, which is how we landed on Marit (mah-rit). Her middle name is Kendall, after Mark.
We didn’t look up any special meanings for Marit before landing on her name but Evan looked it up after and saw that Marit means pearl, which is also a birthstone for June. We guess it was mean to be!" -- from a June 18, 2020 e-mail
from MacKenzie to her paternal grandparents, Dick and Bonnie Kampa. |
