Very strange. Maybe I'm confusing Czech and Slovak. I hope someone else knows something more and posts.

I really think you are confusing them. Slovaks use the "-ia" forms, I think, but Czechs tend not to.

Example: According to statistics, there are 332 918 MariEs and 3 826 MariAs in the Czech Republic. So it's hundred to one for "-iE".
You can find the statistics for females here:
