History & Origin
Mariyana is a modern spelling of Mariana. Mariana is read either as a compound of Maria and Ana - Ana from the Hebrew Hannah, 'grace, favour' - or as a feminine form of the Roman family name Marianus, built on Marius. The name is widely used across Spanish, Portuguese and Slavic-speaking countries; the Mariyana spelling also appears in Bulgarian use. Maria's own root, Hebrew Miriam, has a meaning that has never been settled, and we say so (said 'mar-ee-AH-nuh').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, flowing, and international.
