Máriu

Máriu is a rare masculine given name and, less commonly, a surname found in parts of Europe. It is generally treated as a variant of Mario or Marius and is ultimately derived from the Latin name Marius, which appears in ancient Roman contexts.

The form Máriu uses diacritics that appear in some orthographies to indicate vowel quality or stress. This spelling is associated with regional naming practices rather than a single standardized form, and its use can vary by country or community.

Usage of the name Máriu is limited and not widely documented in major name registries or reference works. In contemporary contexts, individuals bearing the name may occur in multilingual or multicultural settings where Latin-derived given names are common. There are no widely recognized historical figures or events specifically associated with the name in standard encyclopedic sources.

Variants and related names include Mario, Mário, and Marius, as well as other culturally specific spellings of the same root name. The name’s significance is largely definitional, serving as a linguistic variant of a long-established given name rather than representing a distinct historical or cultural institution.
