Marintha is in Origin.
Marintha is a rare English feminine name recorded in 19th-century America. Its form suggests a blend on Latin Marina (from marinus, “of the sea”) plus the then-fashionable -tha/-thia ending seen in Tabitha and Cynthia. Some sources also read it as a clipped or altered form of Amarantha (Greek amarantos, “unfading”), a poetic Puritan choice, which yields the sense “unfading.”
Usage peaked in the 1800s and faded by the early 1900s. Variants and spellings include Marinthia, Merintha, and the diminutive Rintha; Mari and Mina work as nicknames. Phonetically it neighbors Marina, Maren, and Miranda while retaining an antique lilt. Depending on the preferred root, Marintha can be interpreted as “of the sea” or “everlasting.”
