マリヤは楔形文字で彼女の名前が時折決定詞ÍDで綴られることから、もともと同じ名前を持つ川の女神であったと推測されている<ref>Schwemer, 2022, p376</ref><ref>Barsacchi, 2016, p9</ref>。マリヤ川は、歴史上フリギアのパルテニオス（Παρθένιος）か、カッパドキアのカエサレア近くのメラス（Μέλας）に相当するのではないかという説が唱えられている<ref>Serangeli, 2015, p377</ref>。

It is presumed that Maliya might have originally been the [[numen]] of the river sharing the same name, as indicated by the occasional spelling of her name in [[cuneiform]] with the [[determinative]] ÍD. It has been proposed that the river Maliya might correspond to either Parthenios (Παρθένιος) in historical [[Phrygia]] or to Melas (Μέλας) near [[Caesarea (Mazaca)|Caesarea]] in [[Cappadocia]].{{sfn|Serangeli|2015|p=377}} The etymology of the name is unclear.{{sfn|Frantz-Szabó|1987|p=305}} It has been argued in the past that Maliya can be considered "proto-[[Luwian language|Luwian]]",{{sfn|Wegner|1981|p=215}} but according to [[Manfred Hutter]]'s more recent study she did not have Luwian origin.{{sfn|Hutter|2003|p=231}} [[Calvert Watkins]] proposes connecting her name with the noun ''māl-'', "inner strength" or "mental force", attested both in [[Hittite language|Hittite]] and Luwian.{{sfn|Watkins|2007|p=124}} This etymology is also accepted by Mary R. Bachvarova.{{sfn|Bachvarova|2016|p=447}} Matilde Serangeli interprets Maliya's name as "goddess of thought" relying on a similar assumption.{{sfn|Serangeli|2015|pp=385-386}} In early scholarship, attempts were made to prove Maliya was a [[Kassite deities|Kassite deity]] in origin instead.{{sfn|Frantz-Szabó|1987|p=305}}
