The way I interpreted what was said in is that Natalya is her real name; however, because she was both Roma and witch, to protect her identity she used many aliases.

It's possible one of Natalya's aliases was Marya, but it's equally possible that Marya is merely of some relation, as one prominent aspect of the Romani genome is that they have many long runs-of-homozygosity, which denotes the highest frequency of bottleneck events of any European population.
