Marylah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Marylah

What is the meaning of the name Marylah ?

The baby name Marylah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced MAIR-ee-lah (ˈmɛəriːlə); alternative pronunciation mah-REE-lah.

Marylah is English in Origin.

Marylah is a modern elaboration of Mary formed with the lyrical -lah ending, and it also aligns with the Polish diminutive Maryla; both ultimately trace to Hebrew Miryam via Greek/Latin Maria and English Mary. Meanings proposed for Miryam include “beloved,” “wished-for child,” and the traditional “sea of bitterness” or “rebellion,” so Marylah carries the affectionate, time-honored sense of Mary with a contemporary flourish.

While Mary dominated Christian naming from medieval Europe through the nineteenth century, Maryla saw steady use in Poland (and nearby regions) in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including in literature and in the stage name of singer Maryla Rodowicz. Marylah itself surfaces in recent Anglophone records as a rare, decorative variant influenced by -lah endings (Delilah, Selah). Close variants and relatives include Maryla, Marilah, Marilla, Mariella/Mariela; nicknames may be Mary, Mari, Mila, or Lala.
