The same like in English - Maria, but pronounced differently.
Nicknames: Marysia, Mary¶ka, Mania, Mańka, sometimes used Mariola

Poish ladies with this name have had to change the spelling over the generations. Before WWI one could encounter Marya. Before WW2 it was often spelt Marja, and after the war ti becmae Maria. Maryja is reserved solely for the BVM.

We can throw in MARYNIA also, and call them demunitives.

No. Marynia is a diminutive of Maryna which is a dfferent name , of probably the same origin though.

That is what I've mentioned above, often person named Maria would prefer to be called by a nickname like Mariola- is it more clear now???

Many girls (in Poland) named Maria would accually prefer to be called Mariola or by any other nationally known nicknames, which relates to Maria name (in Poland) . The name Maria in Poland is known to have a lots of nicknames and lots of demunitives as well.

marihuana


Yeah, hehehe... marihuana is called Mary¶ka (in Polish) which is demunitive of Maria.
Lyzko  May 14, 10, 13:40    #11
Nominative: Mariola, Maria, Mary¶ka etc...
Vocative (optional though!): Mariolu!, Mario!, Mary¶ko!...
Lyzko  May 14, 10, 13:44    #12
Apropos the 'MariA'/'MariO' form, I'd guess to avoid confusion, if an Italian male named appropriately enough 'Mario' (NOT 'Maria', naturally!!) were living in Poland, his name would be Polonized quickly to 'Marek' (Italian 'Marco') and thereafter dubbed 'Marku!' in the Vocative, again for clarity's sake, most likely LOL

I don;t know what you mean but for sure I can tell you that:
- Italian Mario in Polish is Mariusz
- Italian Marco is Marek in Polish

Lyzko:
Apropos the 'MariA'/'MariO' form,

Polish natives won't have a doubt why it happened that in some cases we address a girl by Mario instead of Maria - it's all about Polish grammar!
Lyzko  May 14, 10, 14:44    #14
"It's all Polish grammar.."

..meaning, it's second nature to a native Polish speaker.

Lyzko  May 14, 10, 14:54    #15
'Mariusz' is also a familiar first name, having an equivalent in other languages too, such as German and Swedish 'Marius'.

Wonder if 'Marina' is a Russian variant of Polish 'Maria', 'Mary¶ka' cf. Hungarian 'Marika' etc...

There is also Martyna. But it's another name.
Lyzko  May 15, 10, 14:22    #17
'Martyna' (Martina) would then be the female form of 'Marcin' (Martin), yes?

Enkidu, you have just shown Lyzko's point on the other thread. It's 'worth noting'. Marian is indeed a man's name as I teach one.

I find it rather funny. I mean - the typical Marians are usually middle-aged men with moustache.
On the other hand - Maid Marian (you know Robin Hood's girlfriend). :-)

BTW - Real name of John Wayne is Marion Robert Morrison.

Because it ends with a consonant, not -a.

Nah. For at least a decade it's a name on it's own rights.

Yeah but not on any birth certificate. The proper name is Jakub.

No, it doesn't happen often and it's completely irrelevant. The question was about the name Maria and not nicknames. You could as well say that some women whose first name is Katarzyna prefer to be called księżniczka.
