Meaning & origin
Marisol entered U.S. naming records in 1953, the first recorded year for the name, and has since become a recognizable choice. The name peaked in popularity in 1996, when it was given to the most babies in a single year. In 2025, it ranked 666th, meaning roughly 1 in every 3,800 newborn girls received the name. Its trajectory shows a rising trend since 2018, indicating renewed interest. Marisol is most common in states with large Hispanic populations, including New Mexico, Nevada, and Arizona. The name's blend of devotion and lyrical sound has contributed to its enduring appeal across Spanish-speaking communities and beyond.
Marisol originated as a shortened form of the Spanish devotional name María de la Soledad (Mary of Solitude), one of the many titles of the Virgin Mary. It typically combines 'María' and 'Soledad' into a single given name. Marisol first appeared in the United States in the 1950s, coinciding with increased cultural exchange and Hispanic influence. The name saw a notable rise in popularity during the 1990s, peaking in 1996.
