Martizah is Spanish in Origin.

Martizah is a modern feminine given name, most plausibly a creative variant of Maritza/Martiza. Those forms arose in Spanish-speaking communities either as a diminutive-adapted offshoot of María (ultimately from Hebrew Miryam) or by association with the Maritsa (Evros) River in the Balkans, popularized through migration and literature. Pronounced mar-TEE-zah, Martizah preserves the bright z-sound while adding a fashionable final -h.

Extremely rare, the name appears in late 20th- and early 21st-century records, paralleling the rise of distinctive -za/-zah endings. Depending on the root you favor, its meaning aligns with traditional readings of María - often “beloved,” “wished-for child,” or “sea of bitterness/rebellion” - or with a toponymic sense “from the Maritsa.” Closest variants include Maritza, Martiza, Maritza, and Mariza; related are Marta and Marisa. Nicknames include Mari, Ritza, Tiza, and Zaza. Martizah suits parents seeking a familiar base with a rare, modern twist.
