Marananga is a settlement in South Australia.[1] It was known as Gnadenfrei before 1918 when names of "enemy origin" were changed to sound less German.
The Gnadenfrei Lutheran Church was established, then a German school was established in 1879. The school's name was changed to Marananga in 1918,[2] which is now also the name of the locality. Gnadenfrei means 'grace' and 'freedom'.[3] Marananga means "My hands" in the Aboriginal language of the Overland Corner tribe.[4]
