Maritsa

“Possibly 'marsh' or 'great'”

Maritsa is the name of a river in the Balkans (also called the Evros or Meriç) and, more rarely, a feminine given name. The river's name is ancient and its exact meaning is disputed: it may come from a Thracian word meaning 'marsh' or one meaning 'great, significant'. Used occasionally as a given name in Greek, Cypriot Greek, and Latin American Spanish families.
