Marieta

Marieta is a diminutive form of Maria, the Latin and Greek rendering of the Hebrew name Miryam, whose meaning is debated but often connected to roots signifying beloved, sea of bitterness, or wished-for child. The diminutive suffix gives it an affectionate, familiar quality and the name has been used across Romanian, Bulgarian, Armenian, Greek, and Spanish-speaking communities. It shares its heritage with a broad family of related forms including Marie, Marita, Marietta, and Mariet.
