Marisol

Where Marisol comes from

Marisol hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1930

    Venezuelan-American sculptor
  2. 1953

    American actress
  4. 1996
    Peak, #234
    1,190 babies named Marisol — more than any year before or since.

    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #531.
