Mariya is in Origin.

Mariya is a cross-cultural feminine name. In Slavic languages (Russian Мария, Ukrainian Марія, Bulgarian Мария), Mariya is a standard Latin transliteration of Maria, a form that ultimately traces to the Hebrew Miryam. In this line it spread with Christian devotion to the Virgin Mary across Eastern Europe and beyond. In Arabic, Mariyah (مارية) is also used, known from Mariyah al-Qibtiyya in early Islamic history, and carries the sense “fair, smooth, or bright.”

Proposed meanings from the Hebrew root include “wished-for child,” “beloved,” and poetic readings such as “sea of bitterness,” “drop of the sea,” or “star of the sea.” Variants and related forms include Maria, Marya, Mary, Marie, Marija, Mária, Mariia, Miriam, Maryam/Mariam, and Mariyah; diminutives range by language, e.g., Masha and Marusya (Russian), Marichka (Ukrainian), and Mimi or Maya (Bulgarian/Slavic).
