Anabelle

Anabelle is a French and English compound name combining Anna, derived from the Hebrew Hannah meaning grace or favour, with the French belle meaning beautiful. The name functions as a variant of Annabel, which itself may have originated as a Scottish elaboration of Amabel, a Latin-rooted name meaning lovable. It gained broader popularity in the English-speaking world partly through literary and romantic associations, and the spelling Anabelle emphasizes its French aesthetic. Closely related forms include Annabelle, Annabel, and Mabel.
