This Spanish name is for the multi-cultural celebration that is baby! Blending the Latin name Maria, meaning “sea of bitterness,” and the French name Belle, meaning “beautiful,” Maribel encompasses all there is to love about these two popular monikers. But this darling name isn’t exclusively rooted in the Romance languages—it potentially pays homage to baby’s Hebrew heritage, too! Drawn from the name Isabel, meaning “my God is an oath,” Maribel can help baby celebrate both their cultural background and their faith. Encourage baby to be confident about where they come from and what they believe with Maribel.
