Maricia is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'marinus', which means 'of the sea'. It was used to denote someone who lived by the sea, reflecting a life closely connected to the ocean and its mysteries.
"Maricia saw its peak popularity in the late 70s to mid-80s with over a decade of consistent usage, ranging from 6 to 14 births annually. However, it appears to have fallen out of favor since the mid-90s, with fewer than 10 births recorded per year since then."
