Mabell
Mabell Origin and Meaning
Mabell is a feminine name representing an alternative spelling of the more common Mabel. Deriving from the Latin 'amabilis' meaning 'lovable,' Mabell has medieval origins when it was popular among Norman nobility. After falling out of use for centuries, it has seen a modest revival as part of the trend toward reclaiming vintage names. The doubled 'l' spelling gives Mabell a slightly distinctive appearance while maintaining the classic pronunciation. Historically, Mabel ranked among the top 100 names in the early 1900s before declining mid-century. The Mabell variant remains uncommon but benefits from the overall resurgence of interest in vintage names with gentle sounds. It carries qualities of sweetness and old-fashioned charm with a subtle modern twist in its spelling.
