The history of the first name Marysabel

Marysabel is a feminine given name that appears to be a combination of the names Mary and Isabel. The name Mary has its origins in the ancient Hebrew name Miryam, which means "bitter" or "beloved". It was the name of the mother of Jesus Christ in the New Testament of the Bible.

The name Isabel, on the other hand, has its roots in the medieval Occitan name Isabela, which was a form of the name Elizabeth. Elizabeth, in turn, was derived from the Hebrew name Elisheva, meaning "God is my oath". The name Isabel was popularized by Queen Isabella I of Castile, who reigned in the late 15th century and was a prominent figure during the Spanish Inquisition and the unification of Spain.

The combination of these two names, Marysabel, seems to have emerged in the Spanish-speaking world, possibly as a way to honor both the Virgin Mary and Saint Elizabeth, who was the mother of John the Baptist and a cousin of Mary.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Marysabel can be found in the 16th century, when a Spanish woman named Marysabel de Rojas was mentioned in historical records from Seville, Spain. Another notable bearer of the name was Marysabel de Vera y Araújo (1601-1678), a Spanish nun and writer from Madrid.

In the 19th century, Marysabel Frías (1809-1886) was a Cuban poet and educator who played a significant role in the literary and cultural life of her country. Marysabel García Viniegra (1848-1914) was a Cuban patriot and activist who fought for Cuban independence from Spain.

Marysabel Huerta Cuervo (1903-1982) was a Mexican writer and journalist who was known for her feminist activism and contributions to the women's rights movement in Mexico. Marysabel Rodríguez (born 1953) is a Venezuelan actress and singer who has appeared in numerous telenovelas and films.

It is worth noting that while the name Marysabel has been present in various Spanish-speaking regions, it has not been as widely used as other combinations of Mary and other names, such as María Isabel or María Isabela.
