Mariella is Italian, Latin in Origin.
Mariella is an Italian and pan-European elaboration of Maria, formed with the affectionate suffix -ella; in some contexts it's seen as a blend of Mary and Ella. Maria derives from Hebrew Miryam; interpretations include "beloved," "wished-for child," or "rebellious," alongside the traditional Marian epithet "star of the sea." Thus Mariella conveys a tender, lyrical spin on enduring Marian meanings.
Used in Italy since at least the early 20th century, the name traveled widely after World War II through Catholic and secular circles, then found fresh favor in English-speaking countries in the late 20th century. Notable bearers such as Italian soprano Mariella Devia and broadcaster Mariella Frostrup have sustained visibility. International variants and cognates include Mariela (Spanish), Marielle (French/Dutch), and Mariel (English). Common diminutives are Mari, Ella, Ellie, and Ria.
