Mariah is a variation of the feminine name Maria. Its use in an English-language context suggests the pronunciation /məˈraɪə/ mə-RY-ə, i.e. the traditional English pronunciation of Latin Maria (as opposed to the Spanish/Italian-influenced pronunciation /məˈriːə/ mə-REE-ə now also commonly encountered in English).

The name was rarely given in the United States prior to the 1990s, when it rose in popularity from rank 562 in 1989 to rank 62 in 1998, in imitation of the name of singer Mariah Carey (whose single "Vision of Love" topped the charts in 1990).
