Mariett is in Origin.

Mariett is a modern streamlined variant of Mariette/Marietta, diminutive forms of Maria, the Latin form of Hebrew Miryam. The name’s meaning is debated; traditional glosses include “beloved,” “wished‑for child,” and “rebellious,” while Christian tradition also associates it with “star of the sea” through medieval interpretations of Mary. Phonetics preserve the soft, lilting cadence of its French and Italian predecessors while dropping the final vowel/e.

Diminutives in -ette and -etta rose across medieval to early modern Europe, especially France and Italy, under Marian devotion, and their use later spread into many languages. Mariett appears rarely in English‑speaking records from the late 20th century as an alternative spelling. Related variants and cognates include Mariette, Marietta, Mariet, Mariëtte (Dutch), Marit, Marita, Maretta, and the broader root family Maria, Marie, Miriam, and Maryam/Mary. Common nicknames: Mari, Mia, Etta, Ettie.
