Many people pronounce this name wrong!
I don't know why, but people say it in almost a Spanish way.
I've heard it pronounced incredibly strange SOO many times, that it's left me wondering why such an easy name continues to be constantly said incorrectly. I've heard it all!
From "Maritzah" to "Murreesah"
Anyways, if you're a fellow Caucasian European (as well as our friends in Canada and Australia) this is how the name is properly pronounced.
