MEANING & HISTORY

What does Mariel mean?

Mariel is recorded as a form of Mary with the ending el. Mary belongs to the biblical Miriam family, whose older literal meaning is disputed.

The ending here should not automatically be treated as Hebrew El, God, because that would import a different name-building rule without evidence. The documented Mary formation is the useful account.
