Maebelle

Maebelle Origin and Meaning

The name Maebelle is a girl's name.

Maebelle is a feminine name that combines the Irish name Mae or May (meaning 'great' or associated with the month of May) with the French suffix 'belle' meaning 'beautiful.' This compound creates a name meaning 'beautifully great' or 'beautiful May.' Maebelle has a distinctly vintage, Southern charm quality to it, popular in the United States during the early 20th century before declining in use. The name experienced a modest revival as part of the trend toward reclaiming antique names. Its sweet, melodic sound and double-'l' spelling give it a delicate, feminine quality. Maebelle offers the classic appeal of names like Mabel with a slightly more elaborate and romantic flair.
