Marananga is a locality in South Australia. 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,^[3] which is now also the name of the locality. Gnadenfrei means 'grace' and 'freedom'.^[4] Marananga means "My hands" in the Aboriginal language of the Overland Corner tribe.^[5]
