The form "Marie" was probably used in the early Middle Ages in France.

The original form of the name was "Maryam", which was the Hebrew word for "bitter" and hence for the bitter "myrrh" plant. The first recorded Maryam was the sister of Moses, who lived about 3,500 years ago.

Maryam was the most popular of all Hebrew names, and several Maryams appear in the New Testament. The Greek translators wrote the name as "Maria", so this is the form that entered the Latin Christian texts.

The French language is a colloquial version of Latin. So "Maria" became "Marie" at the time when spoken French habitually dropped the final "A" from feminine words and replaced it with "E".
