Mariuccella is Italian in Origin.

Mariuccella is an Italian southern diminutive of Maria, built on Mariuccia + the suffix -ella, creating a double diminutive that conveys heightened affection; it is heard especially in Campania and neighboring regions. Maria goes back to Hebrew Miryām, a name with debated sense - often glossed as “wished‑for child,” “beloved,” or linked by folk etymology to ‘sea’ in the Marian title Stella Maris - so Mariuccella carries the sense “little/dearest Mary.”

In use, it functioned chiefly as a family pet name honoring the Virgin Mary and sometimes appeared on baptismal records from the late 19th to mid‑20th century; today it feels rare and nostalgic, surviving in dialect poetry and in Italian‑diaspora communities. Variants and close relatives include Mariuccia, Mariuzza (Sicilian), Maruzza, Mariella, Marietta, and the spelling Mariucciella; short forms may be Mariù, Marì, or Uccia. Cognates beyond Italian include French Marielle and Spanish Mariela.
