Named after the wife of Alexander III Empress Maria Fedorovna (1847-1928). The new definition is included to distinguish it from the pre-existing city of Mariinsk in Western Siberia.

In 1923, the village of Novomariinsk was renamed Anadyr. The working village of Anadyr since 1934, the city since 1965
