Did the cousins claim that they found the name somewhere? With your story about it, it just looks to me like they arbitrarily altered "Marita" when that one was rejected. I would assume that "modern creation blending Marita with Mavis" is the best explanation myself.

Zachary is a form of Zechariah so it means the same, click on the names
Zak is a short form of Zachary in its many forms and for Isaac
