- The character 마 (ma) is used in Korean to express 'horse', but in the context of the name 마리아나, it is purely a phonetic placeholder with no connection to the animal.
- In Korean, the syllable 나 (na) found at the end of 마리아나 is a very common syllable in names, but it is also the sound used to represent the first-person pronoun 'I' in very informal speech.
