It is uncertain whether this is a double proper name or another kind of formation. Alternatives include 'dauther of Mariako', 'asti of Mariako' (title + toponym), 'asti of Mariako' (teritorrial unit). On the one hand, Mariako is attested elsewhere as an anthroponym, which speaks in favour of the two first interpretations. On the other, however, toponyms could also be constructed with the suffix -ⲕⲟ, as the example of Motiko (asti of Motiko in DBMNT 582 & 2812; tot of Motiko in DBMNT 581), Moukdakko (DBMNT 684), and Ngokko (potentiary of Ngokko in DBMNT 582) show.
