Marysol is a girl's baby name of Spanish origin, a compound of Mary (from the Hebrew Miryam) and Sol (the Spanish word for sun), meaning 'sun of Mary' or 'Mary of the sun' — a devotional compound used in Puerto Rican and Hispanic Catholic communities.
With over 1,527 recorded births, Marysol is used primarily in Puerto Rican and Hispanic communities as a devotional compound that honors the Virgin Mary while adding the warmth of the sun. The combination creates an image of radiant maternal love — the sun as an expression of Mary's warmth and light. It has the warm, musical quality of Spanish compound names that blend the sacred with the natural world.
