How to Pronounce Marrio
Pronounced MAR-ee-oh /ˈmɑːr.i.oʊ/High
Meaning: Marrio doubles the r of Mario, the Italian and Spanish given name descended from the ancient Roman family name Marius. Marius is of uncertain root, often connected to Mars, the Roman god of war, or to the Latin word mas, 'male'. The doubled consonant does not change the sound; Marrio is said just like Mario.Low

History & Origin
Marrio is a variant spelling of Mario, itself the Italian and Spanish reflex of the Roman family name Marius. Marius was borne by a famous Roman general and, in Christian tradition, by a saint, which helped it survive into modern Italian and Spanish naming. Mario became widely familiar in the United States through Italian-American families and later through popular culture. The Marrio spelling, doubling the r, most likely arose as a personal or phonetic variation.
As a spelling Marrio remained scarce. Only a few dozen boys a year were recorded with it around its 1980 peak, and it appeared only intermittently after that. A boy named Marrio then would be in his forties today. It reads as an individual respelling rather than an established form, and the standard Mario has always carried the tradition and the recognition.
