feminine · English (Rare) origin
Mabella is an English elaboration of Mabel, itself derived from the Old French name Amabel, which traces back to the Latin amabilis, meaning lovable or dear. The addition of the suffix -ella gives the name a more ornate, Latinate quality common in medieval and early modern English naming practice. Variants and related forms include Mabel, Amabel, and Annabella.
