Marriyah is an elegant and distinctive female given name, derived from the Arabic 'Maryam', which means 'sea of bitterness'. It gained popularity during the late 20th century, particularly among Muslim communities, but has since been embraced by people of various backgrounds due to its unique sound and spelling. The name Marriyah can be written in several ways, including Mariyah, Maryah, or Mariya, each offering a slightly different variation in pronunciation and style.
The name Marriyah saw an increase in popularity between 2011 and 2016, with a total of 16 babies born during this period. However, there was a dip in usage from 9 births in 2011 to just 7 births five years later in 2016.
