Warlike, dedicated to Mars, or bitter sea
Maricella is a melodic elaboration of Marcella or a combination of Maria and Celia. It likely stems from the Roman name Marcella, the feminine form of Marcellus, which relates to Mars, the god of war. Alternatively, it is often interpreted in Spanish-speaking cultures as a compound name blending the meanings of 'bitter' or 'beloved' with 'heavenly'.
