Mabelle

Mabelle is an English name that arose in the 19th century as an elaborated spelling of Mabel, itself a medieval contraction of Amabel, derived from the Latin amabilis, meaning lovable or dear. The spelling with the French-influenced belle ending gave the name a more ornate appearance during a period when such romantic-sounding forms were fashionable. It shares its roots with Amabel, Mabel, and Amabilia, all tracing back to the same Latin source.
