Marianela

Meaning of Marianela

Marianela is a Spanish feminine given name formed by the composite of María and the diminutive suffix Nela, thereby uniting Marian devotional weight with an intimate, affectionate nuance. In its native phonological framework it is articulated as mah-ree-ah-NEH-lah (/maʁjaˈnela/), a rendering that anglophone speakers typically preserve when engaging with Hispanic cultural traditions. United States Social Security Administration data indicate that Marianela first appeared in the national record in 1946 with five registrations (rank 657) and has since exhibited annual counts ranging from five to sixteen newborns, yielding ranks predominantly within the 860–960 interval. This longitudinal pattern underscores the name’s marginal yet persistent presence in American onomastics, reflecting its specialized appeal to families seeking a nomenclature that balances liturgical resonance with morphological transparency. Although its contemporary standing has receded to rank 945 in 2024, Marianela remains a discrete choice for those who prioritize both cultural authenticity and etymological clarity.
