      Origin

      Spanish

      Combination of Maria and Isabel

      Variations

      Mariela, Marinel, Aribella
      The name Maribel originates from the Spanish language and is a combination of two names, Maria and Isabel. Maria is derived from the Hebrew name Miriam, meaning wished-for child or rebelliousness. Isabel, on the other hand, is a variant of the name Elizabeth, which has Hebrew origins as well, meaning God is my oath or pledged to God. The merging of these two names creates Maribel, which can be interpreted as wished-for child of God or rebelliousness pledged to God.

      The name Maribel has a long history and has been used for centuries. It is particularly common in Spanish-speaking countries due to its Hispanic origins. In history, Maribel is seen as a name that combines the popular names of Maria and Isabel. It represents a blending of two traditional names, signifying a connection to both religious devotion and a strong sense of personal sovereignty.

      In modern-day usage, Maribel continues to be popular, particularly among Spanish-speaking communities. It is often given to girls, reflecting a desire for them to embody the characteristics associated with both Maria and Isabel. The name Maribel is seen as a powerful and meaningful choice, as it encapsulates the themes of faith, determination, and individuality.
