mariyah is Latin in Origin.

Mariyah is a modern variant bridging Arabic Maryam and English Mariah/Maria, traceable to Hebrew Miryam. The name moved through Greek and Latin as Maria and into Arabic as Maryam; Slavic forms like Mariya and Mariia reflect the same root. It also aligns with the Arabic Mariyah, known from Mariyah al-Qibtiyya.

Enduring across Abrahamic cultures because of Mary/Maryam, mother of Jesus, the name has been widely used in the Middle East and Europe since antiquity. In the Anglophone world, Mariah surged in the 1990s (aided by singer Mariah Carey), with Mariyah rising as a culturally flexible spelling in the 21st century, especially among Muslim and multicultural families. Proposed meanings of Miryam include "beloved," "wished-for child," "drop of the sea" (later "star of the sea"), and "bitter/rebellious." Close variants: Maryam, Mariam, Mariya, Marija, Maria, Marie, Miriam, Meryem, Mary, Mariah, Marya.
