Marrya is in Origin.

Marrya is a rare contemporary variant that blends English Mary with Slavic-influenced Marya/Mariya. Its lineage traces to Hebrew Miryam, filtered through Greek Maria and Latin Maria, the name elevated across Europe by devotion to the Virgin Mary. The spelling with double r likely arose as a creative or phonetic choice in English-speaking contexts, and appears sporadically in modern records, sometimes reflecting transliteration influences from Russian and South Asian forms.

The underlying meaning is debated: Miryam has been interpreted as “beloved,” “wished-for child,” “rebellious,” or “bitter/sea of bitterness,” while Christian tradition popularized the poetic epithet “star of the sea.” Related forms include Mary, Maria, Marie, Mariam, Miriam, Mariya, Marya, Marija, Mária, Mariah, Máire, and Mairi; diminutives span Molly, Polly, May/Mae, Ria, Mia, and Mimi. Marrya typically aligns in pronunciation with Marya - MAHR-yah - or with Maria - MAR-ee-uh - depending on family preference.
