What is the meaning of the name Maripaz ?

The baby name Maripaz is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish: /maɾiˈpas/ (mah-ree-PAHS).

Maripaz is Spanish in Origin.

Maripaz is a Spanish compound feminine name formed from María and Paz, literally “Mary of Peace.” It ultimately blends Hebrew Miryam (source of María) with Latin pax, meaning “peace.” The name arises from the Marian title María de la Paz (Our Lady of Peace), a devotion honored in various Spanish-speaking regions. As with many Marian compounds, Maripaz conveys both religious reverence and the virtue of serenity or concord.

Used across Spain and much of Latin America since the 19th century, the name appears in parish registers and civil records in forms ranging from the formal María de la Paz to the streamlined María Paz and the fused Maripaz; the spaced double name Mari Paz is also common. Related Portuguese usage includes Maria da Paz. Familiar short forms include Mari, Paz, and Marita. Variants and cognates: María de la Paz, María Paz, Mari Paz, Maripaz; Portuguese Maria da Paz.
