History
MariaDB was forked from MySQL after Sun's acquisition by Oracle. The project is lead by Michael Widenius, who was also a founder of MySQL AB which was later acquired by Sun. The DBMS was named after Michael Widenius' younger daughter Maria, just like MySQL, which was named after his first daughter "My".
