Mariah is an English given name, a variant on the names Maria and Mary. Mariah (although differing from "Maria" by only one letter) is properly pronounced /məˈraɪə/, reflecting the older English pronunciation of Maria. [1] The meaning and origin of Mariah is unknown as the meaning for Mary is obscured, but popular theories suggest "wished for child" and "rebelliousness." [2] The name was further popularized in the 1990s by the singer Mariah Carey. The name Mariah appeared as early as 1550 in Great Britain.
