Palomariah is in Origin.

Palomariah is a modern compound blending Spanish Paloma, “dove,” from Latin palumba, with Mariah, an English form of Maria ultimately from Hebrew Miryam. The fusion evokes layered meanings: the peaceful dove linked to purity and the Holy Spirit, together with interpretations of Miryam such as “beloved,” “wished-for child,” or (via Maria’s folk etymology) “drop of the sea.” Many read the name’s sense as “beloved dove” or “dove of the sea.”

Usage is recent, most visible in multicultural English- and Spanish-speaking communities from the late twentieth century onward, rather than in historical records or saintly calendars. Variants and near-forms include Palomaria, Palomarya, Palomara, Paloma-Riah, and Paloma Riah; related classics are Paloma, Maria, and Mariah. Possible diminutives are Pali, Loma, Mia, Ria, and Mari, lending the elaborate coinage both familiar nicknames and a distinctive, lyrical full form.
