Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Spanish. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Maryella (765), Marella (474), Maryela (105), Maryla (16), Mariola (15), Marayla (12), Mauriella (5).
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
