I was just wondering if you could tell me the meanings/origins of these two names: Mariah %26amp; Coraline. Or at least tell me a website where I could find the origins/meanings? (An accurate one please because some of them are just awful)
Thanks~!|||Mariah

Meaning: Bitter, Or From The Sea
Pronunciation: Mah-REE-ah
Alternate spellings: Maria, Mariyah, Mareyah
Notes: Name is popular, was #92 on the 2007 popular name list / was popularized by singer Mariah Carey
The name Maria (without H) has a very large history, and many origins (see link below)
Coraline:

Meaning #2: It is a variant of Coral, which means a 'semiprecious natural sea growth'

Isn't very popular.

Additional info:
The pronunciation of our modern "Mariah" was actually a common pronunciation of the name "Maria" in nineteenth-century England. This alternate spelling has retained the nineteenth-century pronunciation. The "h" was probably added to appear more Biblical, just as the name "Sara" became "Sarah."
