Marixsa is of Spanish origin, derived from the name Maria, which means 'sea of bitterness'. However, it's important to note that this meaning doesn't reflect on those who bear the name Marixsa today. The name gained popularity in Spain during the Middle Ages and was often used among the nobility.
"Marixsa saw its peak popularity in the late sixties with six births that year, followed by a steady period of five births each in 1993 and 1995. There was another spike in 2004 with six births again, and then it dropped back down to five in 2006. Overall, there have been twenty-seven babies named Marixsa since 1967."
