Măriuca

If you want to celebrate baby’s cultural roots, the name Măriuca can make for a lovely choice. This feminine moniker has Romanian roots and acts as a variant of Mary or Maria, giving your little one plenty of meanings to inspire them. Some of its meanings are “star of the sea,” “beloved,” or “wished-for child,” which can all keep baby’s confidence high. If you’d rather celebrate baby’s sharper, edgier side, Măriuca can also translate to “bitter” or “rebelliousness.” Whether your little one grows to have a love for the water, an acerbic wit, or a healthy resistance to the norm, the name Măriuca is sure to fit them.
