Meaning:Miracle, a wonder; Marvelous
It's only right that your little hero has a name that's out of this world. Marvel, a gender-neutral name, has French roots and means “miracle,” “a wonder,” and “marvelous.” Although it's also a version of classical Latin names like Marvell, Maravilla, and Mirabelle today, Marvel has different connotations. It can be, of course, an homage to a favorite series of comic books or movies. It has all the magic of a superhero without making you narrow your focus to just one character, letting baby Marvel choose their own path.
