Marysha is English, Slavic in Origin.
Marysha is a Slavic diminutive of Maria/Mary, ultimately from Hebrew Miryam via Greek Maria (Μαρία) and Latin Maria. The spelling with -sh- is an Anglicized rendering of Polish Marysia and East Slavic Marisha (Мари́ша), where the soft si/ш sound is heard; the form appears in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, and among their diasporas.
Used as an affectionate home name for centuries in Eastern Europe, it began to surface as an independent given name in English-language records in the late 20th century. Variants and cognates include Marysia, Marisha (sometimes also for Marina), Masha, Marusya/Marusia, Marika, Marija, Mariya, Marya, and Mariska. The meaning follows Maria: commonly interpreted as beloved or wished-for child; older etymologies propose sea of bitterness and the devotional title star of the sea. Christian tradition surrounding the Virgin Mary has long sustained the name’s popularity and gentle, familiar tone.
Marysha is exceptionally rare. There are only 16 recorded uses on record, spread over 7 countries.
