What Does the Name Mirasol Mean?
Mirasol is a Spanish word-name meaning "sunflower." It is built from the imperative mira ("look"), from the verb mirar ("to look at"), joined to sol ("sun"). Taken literally, the compound says "look at the sun" - a description of the flower that turns its head to follow the light. The same image produced the plant's other Spanish name, girasol, from girar ("to turn") plus sol, which has largely replaced mirasol as the everyday word for the sunflower.
Mirasol Name History & Origins
The word mirasol is recorded in older Spanish with the sense "sunflower," formed from mirar and sol. As girasol became the standard term for the flower, mirasol was pushed to regional speech, older writing, and poetry, and it is from this older word that the personal name derives.
As a given name, Mirasol is feminine and belongs to the Spanish habit of naming girls after plants and other natural things, alongside names such as Rosa, Azucena, and Paloma. It is used in Spain and in Latin America, and it is well established in the Philippines, where Spanish naming customs took root during the colonial period; there Mirasol serves as both a given name and a family name, and Filipino family names of Spanish origin were often drawn from official surname lists in the nineteenth century.
The name should not be confused with Marisol. The two look alike, but Marisol is generally explained as a blending of María with Sol or Soledad, while Mirasol comes from the sunflower word. They are separate names with separate origins.
