Annabelle Origin and Meaning

The name Annabelle is a girl's name of French origin meaning "loving".

This is a charming name that rose steeply along with other-belle names, such as Isabelle, until the horror film Annabelle and its sequels knocked it out of favor. Made famous by the Edgar Allen Poe poem Annabel Lee. Annabelle is saucy and stylish, a tad upscale, has a sense of humor, is melodious and lively, but is unfortunately off its peak.

Annabelle was well used in the early twentieth century, took a long rest, then resurfaced in 1995.
