Marisabel

Meaning of Marisabel

Marisabel is a feminine name of Spanish origin, formed by the fusion of María and Isabel, two classic names that evoke both Marian devotion and the medieval Iberian royal tradition. María, long associated with the Virgin Mary, lends an air of reverence, while Isabel—derived from the Hebrew Elisheba—carries the meaning “God’s promise” or “pledged to God,” together suggesting a blend of faithfulness and grace. Pronounced mah-ree-sah-BEL (/maˈri.sa.βel/), it maintains a clear, balanced cadence in Spanish. In the United States, Marisabel has never been common but has shown remarkable persistence: in 2024 it ranked 939th, with 11 recorded births, and over the past three decades it has consistently appeared between roughly 800th and 950th place. This pattern indicates modest but enduring appeal among parents seeking a name that feels both traditional and distinct. While its rarity means Marisabel is unlikely to be shared in most playgrounds, its compound structure ties it firmly to two of the most enduring names in Western naming history.
