Marbella

Spanish place name
"beautiful sea"

Marbella Origin and Meaning

The name Marbella is a girl's name meaning "beautiful sea".

The name of the resort city on Spain's Costa del Sol is pronounced mar-BAY-a, setting it apart from the bella-name competition -- though many English speakers won't realize that. And it probably doesn't matter unless you pointedly want to reference the place via your daughter's name. Marbella, with the Ls pronounced, is a pretty choice given to about 100 baby girls each year.
