Meaning & origin
Marysol is a rare and poetic name that blends the classic devotion of Mary with the brightness of the Spanish word for sun. It first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1962, but its most popular year was 1990, reflecting a broader trend of compound and hyphenated Spanish name creations in that era. As of 2025, Marysol ranked 5,554th, with a 1-in-73,058 chance of a newborn girl receiving the name, and its usage has been rising since 2021, particularly in California, where the name is most concentrated. The name avoids the top 1,000 but holds steady appeal among families valuing cultural fusion and religious heritage.
Marysol is a modern compound name combining Mary and Sol (Spanish for 'sun'). Mary derives from the Hebrew name Miriam, which is often interpreted as 'bitter' or 'beloved,' but in Christian tradition it is associated with 'star of the sea.' Sol is a common element in Spanish names like Soledad. The name Marysol likely emerged in Spanish-speaking communities, particularly in the United States, as a creative fusion honoring both the Virgin Mary and the sun.
