Marishkah is in Origin.

Marishkah is a modern, Anglicized elaboration of Marishka/Mariska, themselves affectionate diminutives of Maria/Mary. In Hungarian, Mariska derives from Mária with a familiar diminutive ending, while in Slavic languages Marishka/Маришка uses the -shka affectionate suffix. As with all forms of Maria, the name ultimately traces to Hebrew Miryam; interpretations of its meaning include "beloved," "wished-for child," and, by later folk etymology, "star of the sea."

In Central and Eastern Europe these pet forms long functioned as familiar names and, in Hungary and the Netherlands, sometimes as formal given names; visibility in English rose through actress Mariska Hargitay. The spelling Marishkah emphasizes the sh sound and adds an ornamental final h typical of contemporary English naming. Close variants include Marishka, Mariska, Maryshka, and the Polish Maryśka; broader cognates are Marika, Marica, Marisa, and the base forms Mary, Maria, Mária, and Mariya.
