Marysela is Spanish in Origin.

Marysela is a rare modern feminine name most plausibly formed at the crossroads of English and Spanish naming. It is often read as a creative respelling of Marisela/Maricela - Spanish relatives of Marcela (from Latin Marcellus, linked to the Roman god Mars, “warlike”) - with the initial reworked to echo Mary. It can also be interpreted as a compound of Mary (from Hebrew Miryam, variously explained as “beloved,” “bitter,” or “wished‑for child”) and Sela/Selah (Hebrew, “rock” or a liturgical cue).

In use since the late 20th century, Marysela appears sporadically in the Americas among bilingual families and remains uncommon in official statistics. Variants and near‑equivalents include Marisela, Maricela, Marcela, and the occasional Marycela or Marysella; nicknames include Mary, Mari, and Sela. Blended meanings offered by parents range from “beloved warrior” (Mary + Marcela) to “wished‑for rock” (Mary + Sela).
