Marysol is Spanish in Origin.

Marysol is an Anglicized respelling of Spanish Marisol, itself traditionally a contraction of María de la Soledad, a Marian title meaning “Mary of Solitude.” Through folk etymology, it’s perceived as mar + sol: “sea and sun.” As a hybrid, Marysol can also be read literally as Mary + Sol, blending the English Mary with the Spanish word for “sun,” yielding a bright, devotional, and nature‑inflected name.

The name rose in the mid‑20th century, boosted by Spanish child star Marisol (Pepa Flores) in the 1960s, and later appeared in the U.S. among Hispanic and bilingual families. The Marysol spelling is rarer but recognizable. Variants include Marisol, Marizol, Mari Sol, and María Soledad; related forms are Maricel and Marisel. Nicknames: Mari, Sol, Soli, Maris. Its dual heritage and meanings make Marysol a culturally fluid choice that honors Marian devotion while evoking sunlit seas.
