Maricah is in Origin.
Maricah is a modern English given name most plausibly linked to the Maria family, blending the Slavic/Hungarian diminutives Marika and Marica with the now-familiar -ah ending. Its root is Maria (from Hebrew Miryam), a name with debated meanings such as "beloved" or "wished‑for child," and sea-related interpretations like "drop of the sea" or "star of the sea."
Marika has long been used in Hungary and parts of Central and Northern Europe, while Marica is common in South Slavic areas; Japanese Marika also exists with unrelated, kanji-based meanings. In English-speaking countries, Maricah appears from the late 20th century as a rare, creative alternative to Maria/Marika or as a Maria + Micah blend. Related variants include Marika, Marikah, Marica, Mariska, and Maria; short forms include Mari, Rica, and Rika.
