Mariucca is Greek, Italian in Origin.

Mariucca is an Italian affectionate diminutive of Maria, built with the endearing suffix -ucc-, and best understood as a regional or spelling variant of the more widespread Mariuccia. It literally conveys "little/dear Maria." The root name Maria goes back to Hebrew Miryam; scholars offer several readings, including "beloved" or "wished-for child," "bitter," and "rebellious," with an alternative Egyptian derivation from a word for "love." Medieval Christian folk etymology also linked Maria to "stella maris," star of the sea.

In use, Mariucca appears in various Italian regions and within Italian diaspora communities as a homey pet form that sometimes migrated onto baptismal or civil records, particularly in the late 19th to mid-20th centuries. Close variants and cognates include Mariuccia (most common), Mariuzza (Sicilian), Mariu, Mariella, and Marietta; a masculine counterpart is Mariuccio. Today the name reads rare, vintage, and warmly traditional.
