Maryjoh is English in Origin.

Maryjoh is a modern compound given name formed from Mary and Joh/Jo. Mary comes from Hebrew Miryam, an ancient name whose etymology is debated; common interpretations include “beloved,” “drop of the sea,” “bitter,” or “rebellious.” Joh evokes two streams: in English it parallels Jo, the clipped form of Josephine, Joanna, or Joanne, while in Germanic contexts Joh- abbreviates Johannes/Johanna, all ultimately from Hebrew Yochanan, “Yahweh is gracious.” Taken together, Maryjoh can be read as “beloved; God is gracious.”

Compound Mary + Jo names flourished in English-speaking countries in the mid-20th century, especially in the United States and Canada, with Mary Jo peaking in the 1940s–1960s and remaining familiar in Catholic and Southern naming traditions. The -h ending in Maryjoh is rare but stylistic. Variants and cognates include Mary Jo, Mary-Jo, Maryjo, Mary-Joh, MaryJoh, Marie-Jo (French), and Maria-Jo; compare also Marijo in South Slavic usage.
