About Marisol
Bright and vivid, Marisol is a sunny name of Spanish origin and an excellent candidate to cross languages, a la Soledad, Paz, and Solana. Familiar in its native Spain (though no longer a top choice), a recent year also saw Marisol make the Top 1000 in the US, the Top 200 in Italy, and the Top 100 in Mexico.
While the name comes from a title of the Virgin Mary—Our Lady of Solitude—it's also associated with the Spanish words for sea and sun, mar y sol. As such, it may have a summery, nature-inspired meaning, as well as a spiritual one.
Notable bearers include the French-born Venezuelan artist Marisol Escobar—known simply by her first name — along with actress Marisol Nichols, Spanish singer Marisol (Josefa Flores González), and model and influencer Marisol Oritz.
Pronounced mair-i-SOL.
As of October 2026, Marisol ranked #667 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #235 in 1996, Nameberry popularity #284.
Editor's take: The name Marisol is a girl's name of Spanish origin meaning "Mary of Solitude; sea and sun".
