Hi there. My name is Marisol and I now ask new people I meet to pronounce my name as Maud-y-sol. Which is the proper pronunciation. It is really hard to explain pronunciation to people and I recognize that. The actual meaning of my name is ocean and sun. Mar is pronounced with a rolled “r” y is “and” in Spanish and sol is sun. My mother gave me another first name of Ramona to make it “easier “ on non-Hispanic professional individuals I may encounter.
