Maritess is a unique and beautiful female given name of Spanish origin, meaning 'of the sea'. It is a variant spelling of the more traditional Maria Teresa, combining the Spanish form of Mary and the feminine form of the Roman emperor's name, Tertius. The use of 's' instead of 'a' at the end of Maritess gives it a distinctive and modern touch. This name has been used sparingly throughout history but is considered elegant and charming nonetheless.
"Maritess' popularity peaked in 1973 and 1984 with nine and seven births respectively. However, it declined notably after 1987."
