History & Origin
Marycarmen is an English-record spelling of the Spanish compound Maria del Carmen, long popular in Latin America and Spain. Mary carries the Hebrew name of the Virgin; Carmen recalls Our Lady of Mount Carmel, from Hebrew karmel, 'garden'. As a single written word it appears in U.S. records among Spanish-speaking families.
It was never common in this closed-up form, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around the turn of the millennium. A girl named Marycarmen then is in her twenties now, often from a Catholic Latina family keeping a devotional double name.
