Carabelle is a charming feminine name that combines elements of 'Cara' (meaning 'beloved' in Italian or 'friend' in Irish) with the popular '-belle' suffix meaning 'beautiful' in French.

While never extremely common, Carabelle has seen modest renewed interest alongside other vintage names with the '-belle' ending.
