What is the meaning of the name Anabela ?

The baby name Anabela is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced EN: /ˌænəˈbɛlə/ (an-ə-BEL-ə); ES/PT: /a.naˈbe.la/ (ah-nah-BEH-lah).

Anabela is Spanish in Origin.

Anabela is the Portuguese and Galician form of a compound built from Ana (from Hebrew Channah, “grace, favor”) and Bela (“beautiful,” from Latin bellus). The name conveys the blended sense of “graceful beauty.” It appears across the Lusophone world and, to a lesser extent, in Spanish-speaking countries. Related variants include Annabella, Annabel, Annabelle, Anabella, and Anabel; diminutives and nicknames include Ana, Bela, Bel, and Belinha.

The name reflects the Iberian tradition of devotional double names centered on Saint Anne and the Romance vogue for -bella/-bela forms. It gained modern visibility in Portugal in the late twentieth century, helped by public figures such as the singer Anabela (Eurovision 1993). Today it remains familiar without being overused, offering a sleek, single‑n spelling distinctive to Portuguese while staying intelligible internationally through its close ties to Annabelle/Annabella.
