Marilza is Portuguese in Origin.
Marilza is a Brazilian Portuguese feminine given name, most likely a blend of Maria and Elza/Liza. Maria derives from Hebrew Miryam (via Latin and Portuguese), a name with debated meanings such as “beloved,” “wished-for child,” “drop of the sea,” or “rebellious.” Elza/Liza is a Portuguese short form of Eliza/Elizabeth, from Hebrew Elisheva, “God is my oath.” As a compound, Marilza carries the layered associations of both roots rather than a single fixed meaning, roughly evoking “Mary + Eliza” or “beloved under God’s oath.”
The name appears in Brazilian records from the mid-20th century, when inventive blends of Maria flourished, and it peaked in use between the 1960s and 1980s before declining. It remains familiar in Lusophone communities. Variants and related forms include Mariza, Marilsa, Maria Elza, and the rarer spelling Marylza. Common nicknames are Mari, Liza, and Lizinha.
