Marlysa is in Origin.
Marlysa is a modern feminine given name, an elaborated respelling of Marlisa/Marlise. Those forms descend from the German short name Marlis/Marlies, a contraction of Maria + Elisabeth (Hebrew Miryam + Elisheva). Consequently, Marlysa folds together the senses "wished-for/beloved child" from Maria and "my God is an oath/pledge" from Elisabeth.
Usage of Marlysa is rare but traceable from the late 20th century in English- and French-speaking communities, alongside close variants Marlyse and Marlyssa; in Central and West Francophone Africa, Marlyse/Marlise are well established. Related forms include Marlisa, Marlissa, Marlise, Marlis, Marlies, Marlys, and Marilisa. Short forms and nicknames include Marli, Mari, and Lysa/Lyssa. With its soft -lysa ending and international pedigree, Marlysa fits the modern blend trend while retaining classic biblical roots through its Maria-Elisabeth origin.
