Origin and meaning

Combination of Mary (beloved or bitter) and Beth (pledged to God)

Maribeth emerged as a compound English name merging Mary and Beth (from Elizabeth). It became popular in the Philippines during the mid-to-late 20th century due to American cultural influence and the natural Filipino affinity for Marian and compound names.

Maribeth is an English portmanteau blending Mary (or Maria) with Beth, a diminutive of Elizabeth. Both components have biblical Hebrew roots, but the blended form developed and spread through 20th-century American English naming practices.
