What is the meaning of the name Maricris ?

The baby name Maricris is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced mah-REE-kris (IPA: /mɑːˈriːkrɪs/).

Maricris is in Origin.

Maricris is a modern Filipino feminine given name created by blending Maria and Cris, the latter a common shortening of Cristina/Christine (also spelled Cristine). Maria, the Latin form of the Hebrew Miryam, entered Philippine naming through Spanish influence and Catholic devotion to the Virgin Mary. Cristina derives from Latin Christianus and Greek christianos, “follower of Christ,” from Christos, “anointed.” As a blend, Maricris carries an explicitly devotional resonance: “Mary” paired with “follower of Christ.”

Widely used in the Philippines from the late 20th century onward, Maricris belongs to the popular class of Maria-based compounds (compare Maricel, Maricar, Marife, Marites). Variants include Mari Cris, Mari-Cris, Marycris, Mariecris, and Marikris; stylized camel-case forms (MariCris) also appear. Diminutives and nicknames include Mari and Cris. Related international forms are Cristina, Cristine, Christine, and Maria, though Maricris itself is most strongly associated with Filipino usage and the diaspora.
