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.

Marisol is also given to boys.

Pronounced mair-i-SOL.

As of October 2026, Marisol ranked #667 for girls in US births in 2025 and #11526 for boys in US births in 2000 SSA, peaked at #235 for girls in 1996 and #2513 for boys in 1971, Nameberry popularity #771 for girls.
