Amabel

Amabel is a medieval English name derived from the Latin amabilis, meaning lovable or worthy of love, itself built from the verb amare, to love. It was in modest use in England during the Norman and post-Norman periods, appearing in records from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The name is closely related to Mabel, which developed as a contracted form and eventually overshadowed Amabel in common usage. Annabel and Amabilia are among the cognate and parallel forms sharing the same Latin root.
