Maripaz is of Spanish origin, derived from the word 'mariposa', meaning butterfly. This name is composed of two elements: 'mari' which is a short form of Mary, and 'paz' meaning peace. Therefore, Maripaz can be interpreted as 'Mary who brings peace'. The name has been popular in Spain and Latin America for centuries but remains relatively uncommon elsewhere.
"The name Maripaz experienced a notable increase in popularity between 2008 and 2012, with a peak of 30 births recorded in 2012. However, it has since declined, with only 5 births each recorded in both 2017 and 2019."
