Marikia is Latin, Slavic in Origin.

Marikia is a rare feminine name, likely an elaboration of Marika - the pan-European diminutive of Maria - or a modern blend of Maria and Kia. Maria descends from Hebrew Miryam, a name with debated roots often glossed as "beloved," "wished-for child," or "sea of bitterness," and later reinterpreted in Christian tradition as "star of the sea." The -ia ending lends a Latinate, lyrical flow that adapts easily across languages.

Documented usage is very sparse and recent, with the form overshadowed by Marika, which has long been used in Central and Eastern Europe and in Scandinavia. Cognates and near-variants include Marika, Maria, Mariya, Mária, Marija, and Marica; related short forms and nicknames include Mari, Rika, Kia, Kiki, and Mika. In Japanese, Marika is etymologically separate and kanji-dependent; Marikia would be perceived as inventive. Meaning for Marikia generally follows Maria: "beloved/wished-for child" or "star of the sea."
