History & Origin
Mariell is a spelling of Mariel, a diminutive form of Maria used in Spanish and in English; the French Marielle is its close relation. Maria descends from the Hebrew Miriam by way of Greek and Latin, and its meaning has been argued over for centuries with no settled answer, which we say honestly. Mariel is also the name of a Cuban port town known from the nineteen-eighties boatlift. Mariell is a rare spelling of a graceful name (said 'mar-ee-EL').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, graceful, and international.
