Marnyah is a modern feminine name, likely a creative elaboration of Marni/Marnie - a diminutive of Marina (Latin marinus, “of the sea”) - combined with the -yah/-iah theophoric ending that invokes the Hebrew divine name Yah. Together these elements suggest a meaning of “of the sea” with a sacred inflection, or simply a lyrical, faith-tinged update of Marni.

It has little historical record and appears mainly since the late 20th century, remaining rare and generally absent from major popularity charts. Usage is most visible in the United States, with occasional appearances in other English-speaking communities. Variant forms include Marnya, Marniyah, Marniah, Marnaya, and Marnia; related names are Marna, Marnie, Marni, and Marina. The -yah ending, familiar from names like Aliyah or Nehemiah, lends Marnyah a subtle scriptural echo. Common short forms are Marni and Nya.
