Mariah (given name)
Mariah is a variant of the given name Maria.
Its use in an English-language context suggests the pronunciation /məˈraɪə/, i.e. the traditional English pronunciation of Latin Maria.
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.People
