What is the meaning of the name Maryusia ?

Maryusia is Slavic in Origin.

Maryusia is a Slavic pet form of Maria, built with the affectionate -usia suffix common in East Slavic naming. Used chiefly in Ukrainian and Belarusian circles (cf. Маруся/Марыся), it sits alongside Polish Marysia and Russian Marusya; the spelling with -yu- reflects transliteration habits and diaspora usage. As a derivative of Maria (from Hebrew Miryam), it carries traditional interpretations such as “beloved,” “wished‑for child,” “sea of bitterness,” or the later devotional “star of the sea,” while the diminutive adds the nuance “little Maria.”

In folk songs and 19th‑century literature - the Ukrainian classic Marusia by Kvitka‑Osnovianenko, or Polish tales about Marysia - the name signals warmth, rustic charm, and intimacy. Today Maryusia remains uncommon as an official given name but thrives as a familial or endearing form; some families adopt it as a standalone choice. Variants and cognates include Maria, Mariya/Mariia, Marysia, Marusia/Marusya, Marisha, Masha, Mania, and Marika.

⚙ Maryusia is absent from every birth registry and name dataset we follow. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
