History & Origin
Marycruz is a Hispanic girls' name that pairs Mary with Cruz, 'cross,' for the devotional 'Mary of the Cross.' It appears in United States records from 1988, part of a long tradition of Marian compound names carried by Catholic families.
It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its 1990 high. A girl named Marycruz then is in her thirties now, and the name still reads clearly as a heritage devotional choice.
