Marilise is a French name. Marilise is a modern compound name combining "Mari" (a form of Mary, from the Hebrew Miriam meaning "beloved" or "star of the sea") and the suffix "-lise" (a French diminutive ending), resulting in a name meaning "beloved" or "little Mary." The name is primarily used in French-speaking regions, particularly France and French-speaking African countries, with roots in Christian tradition through its Marian connection.
