feminine · English (Rare) origin
Amabel is an English name derived from the Latin root amabilis, meaning lovable or worthy of love, itself built from the verb amare, to love. It was used in medieval England and appears in historical records from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, though it never achieved widespread popularity. The name is closely related to Mabel, which arose as a contracted form and went on to enjoy far greater use. Annabel and Amabilis are among the cognate forms sharing the same Latin foundation.
