Marylyna is English in Origin.

Marylyna is a modern English elaboration that fuses Mary with the lyrical -lyna ending, related to Lina and Lynn. Mary descends from Hebrew Miryam, filtered through Greek Mariam/Maria into Latin and then English, anchoring the name in one of the most enduring traditions of the Christian and wider Western world. The -lyna element echoes feminine and diminutive patterns seen across Europe (compare Carolina, Angelina, Adelina). As a coined form, Marylyna appears in late 20th–early 21st‑century records and remains uncommon.

Its meaning is read from its parts: Mary is variously interpreted as “beloved,” “wished‑for child,” “sea of bitterness,” or poetically “star of the sea.” The -lyna piece may evoke Lina (used internationally and meaning “tender/soft” in Arabic contexts) or Lynn (from Welsh llyn, “lake”). Variants include Marylina, Marylena, Marilina, Marilena, Marilyna, and Marylynna; nicknames range from Mary and Marly to Lina/Lyna.
