History & Origin

Marinell is a coined compound joining Marie or Marin to Nell, a short form of Helen or Eleanor. Mary itself goes back to the Hebrew Miriam. The name reflects an early-twentieth-century taste for blending two roots into a single, musical whole.

It was always rare, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 1938, and faded by mid-century. A girl named Marinell then is a grandmother today.
