Marinell is an uncommon, feminine given name of Germanic origin. It derives from the Old German elements 'mar' meaning 'of the sea' and 'hild' signifying 'battle'. Thus, Marinell can be interpreted as 'of the sea battle', though it's more likely to evoke images of maritime beauty than warfare. The name was popularized by the 14th-century French romance 'The Roman de la Rose', where Marinell is a character known for her enchanting beauty and magical powers. Today, Marinell remains a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
The name Marinell experienced varying popularity throughout the years with notable spikes in certain decades. The highest number of births recorded was 16 in 1938 and again in 1941. However, from 1950 onwards, the annual births consistently remained below 10, indicating a decline in its popularity during that period.
