What is the meaning of the name Maribel ?

The baby name Maribel is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish: /ma.ɾiˈβel/ (mah-ree-BEL); English: /ˈmærəbəl/ or /ˈmærɪbəl/ (MAR-uh-bel / MAR-i-bel).

Maribel is Spanish in Origin.

Maribel is a Spanish feminine given name formed as a contracted blend of María and Isabel, a common double name. María descends from Hebrew Miryam, whose meanings are debated - often “beloved,” “wished‑for child,” “drop of the sea,” or “bitterness.” Isabel comes from Hebrew Elisheva via Latin Elisabeth, meaning “God is my oath.” In English contexts it is sometimes read as Mary + Belle, giving the folk meaning “beautiful Mary.” Together the components suggest devotion to Mary joined with a theophoric vow.

Used independently since the mid‑20th century across Spain and Latin America, Maribel mirrors the rise of other María‑compounds (Marisol, Marisa). It traveled to the United States and the Philippines with Hispanic influence, peaking in late‑century charts. Variants include Maribelle, Maribella, and affectionate Maribelita; related María Isabel endures. Common nicknames: Mari, Bel, Bela, Belle.
