Maretta is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a diminutive form of Maria (derived from the Hebrew Miriam), meaning 'sea of bitterness,' 'rebelliousness,' or 'wished-for child.' Alternatively, it could relate to the Latin 'mare' meaning 'sea,' giving it a connection to the ocean. The name has appeared in Italian, Greek, and various European naming traditions. Maretta carries a romantic, somewhat vintage feel with its flowing syllables and soft ending. While never extremely common, the name saw modest usage in the early to mid-20th century in the United States. Its melodic quality and classic feminine sound make it appealing to parents seeking a name that feels both distinctive and traditionally feminine.
