Marytza is in Origin.

Marytza is a modern, phonetic respelling of Maritza/Mariza, used chiefly in Spanish- and English-speaking communities. The base name is linked to Maria (from Hebrew Miryam) through Central/Eastern European diminutives like Marica/Mariza, and also to the Balkan river name Maritsa; the -itza/-iza ending echoes Slavic and Romance nickname patterns. In this spelling, the y visually nods to Mary, the English form of Maria.

Use rose in the Americas in the late 20th century, helped by the popularity of Maritza among Latina entertainers and U.S. Hispanic families, with earlier European visibility from Kálmán’s operetta Gräfin Mariza (1924). Variants include Maritza (standard), Mariza, Maritsa; short forms include Mari and Ritza. Meaning follows its root: from Maria it carries the debated senses “beloved,” “wished-for child,” or “bitter/sea of bitterness”; from the geographic root it can be read as “of the Maritsa (river).”
