Meaning and origin of Amabel
Amabel comes from the Latin amabilis, 'lovable', and was used as a given name in England from the Middle Ages, often among Norman families. Over time it was shortened and reshaped into Mabel, which became far more popular in the nineteenth century. Victorian writers revived the fuller Amabel, and it now appeals to parents who like Mabel or Annabel but want something rarer.
