Marilinda is in Origin.
Marilinda is a modern compound feminine name combining Mari - root of Maria/Mary - with Linda. In Spanish and Portuguese, linda is the everyday adjective for "pretty, lovely," giving the blended sense "lovely Mary." The second element also echoes the Germanic lind ("soft, tender; linden tree"), so the name reads naturally in both Romance and Germanic naming traditions. The -a ending aligns with common feminine morphology.
The name surfaces in English-language records from the mid-20th century, when creative Mary/Maria compounds and the given name Linda were fashionable, and is also encountered in Latin America and the Philippines. Variant forms include Marylinda, Marilynda, and Mari-Linda; related stylistic cousins are Marilyn and Marilena. Common short forms are Mari, Mary, Linda, and Lindy. Overall, Marilinda offers a warm, melodic hybrid with devotional roots and a straightforward, positive meaning.
