Anabell
Anabell Origin and Meaning
Anabell is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Annabel or Anabel, which themselves are variants of Amabel, derived from the Latin 'amabilis' meaning 'lovable.' This spelling variation adds a distinctive touch while maintaining the name's elegant sound. The name gained literary recognition through Edgar Allan Poe's poem 'Annabel Lee,' which added romantic and somewhat melancholic associations. Anabell combines the popularity of Anna names with the appealing '-bell' ending that became fashionable in the late 20th century. While less common than Annabelle or Annabel, this spelling offers a slightly more modern feel. The name carries connotations of beauty, grace, and sweetness, and allows for nicknames like Ana, Annie, or Belle, giving its bearers flexibility in how they present themselves.
