About Maritza
Used especially in Latin America, this would make a funky spin on Maria.
The meaning of Maria is uncertain, but theories include "drop of the sea" (from Hebrew roots mar "drop" and yam "sea"); "bitter" (from Hebrew marah "bitterness"); and "beloved" (from the Egyptian root mr).
Maritza is also given to boys.
Pronounced mah-REE-tsah.
As of November 2026, Maritza ranked #2846 for girls in US births in 2025 and #6760 for boys in US births in 1995 SSA, peaked at #403 for girls in 2005 and #3883 for boys in 1987.
