Mariah

The name Mariha actually is of Native American origin. My sister was named Mariha in 1981, long before anyone had heard of Mariah Carey. My sister's father was Native American and he told us that long ago the Indians called the wind "Mariha" and that is where the name came from.

My best friend's name is Mariah. If you look it up in a baby book or something, it stands for "the wind". We pronounce her name mar-i-uh!
