 Mar·a·nath·a n.  “Our Lord cometh;” -- an expression used by St. Paul at the conclusion of his first Epistle to the Corinthians (xvi. 22). This word has been used in anathematizing persons for great crimes; as much as to say, “May the Lord come quickly to take vengeance of thy crimes.” See Anathema maranatha, under Anathema.

 Maranatha
    (1 Cor. 16:22) consists of two Aramean words, Maran'athah,
    meaning, "our Lord comes," or is "coming." If the latter
    interpretation is adopted, the meaning of the phrase is, "Our
    Lord is coming, and he will judge those who have set him at
    nought." (Comp. Phil. 4:5; James 5:8, 9.)

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
