Etymology

The English name ultimately comes from Bulgarian Мари́ца (maríca), it came from Thracian *māras / *māros plus -ица, the Bulgarian feminine noun suffix, coming from Proto-Slavic *-ica. The Thracian term either meant “marsh; bog” or “great; significant”. The Maritsan autonym, Ebrusy coincidentally also came from Thracian *ebrus, their name for the river, but *ebrus came from Thracian *ebru meaning wide. The -y suffix is the plural vocative suffix, as all languages are in the vocative plural form as a base. The -y suffix came from Proto-Chlesamnic *-áus.
