Marynell is a unique and elegant given name of American origin, derived from combining elements of Mary and Ellen. It gained popularity during the late 20th century but remains relatively uncommon, adding to its distinctive charm. The name Marynell consists of two distinct parts: "Mary," which is derived from the Latin 'Maria,' meaning "sea of bitterness" or "rebelliousness," and "Ellen," which is a diminutive form of Helen, originating from the Greek 'helene,' meaning "torch" or "corposant." The combination results in a name that carries both traditional and modern undertones, making it an attractive choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet meaningful name for their child.
Marynell was a popular name for newborn girls during the early to mid-20th century, with noticeable spikes in popularity between 1943 and 1949, reaching its peak in 1943 with 15 births. After the 1960s, the usage of this name decreased significantly.
