What is the meaning of the name Anabella ?

The baby name Anabella is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ˌænəˈbɛlə/ (AN-ə-BEL-ə).

Anabella is Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Anabella is a feminine given name shaped by two converging traditions. In Spanish and Italian it reads as a compound of Ana (from Hebrew Channah, “grace, favor”) and Bella (“beautiful,” from Latin bellus), yielding the appealing sense “graceful beauty.” The second strand treats it as a spelling variant of Annabella, an elaboration of Annabel, which in turn descends from medieval Amabel (Latin amabilis, “lovable”). Through Bella it also brushes the Isabella/Elizabeth line (Hebrew Elisheva, “my God is an oath”).

While Annabella appears in late medieval Scotland - most notably Queen Annabella Drummond - forms of the name spread across Europe and enjoyed periodic revivals in the Romantic and Victorian eras. Today Anabella is common in Latin America and increasingly familiar in English-speaking countries. Established variants include Annabella, Annabel, Annabelle, Anabel, and Portuguese Anabela; related short forms are Ana, Annie, Bella, and Belle.
