History & Origin
Marybell belonged to the fashion for Mary-compound names, touching a modest high around 1919. Written as one word, this form stayed rarer than the separated Mary Bell.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, and it faded as double names fell from style. The name reads as a warm, old-fashioned pairing of Mary and beauty.
