What is the meaning of the name Annabelle ?

The baby name Annabelle is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced AN-uh-bell (IPA: /ˈænə.bɛl/).

Annabelle is Hebrew in Origin.

Annabelle blends the Hebrew-rooted Anna (from Hannah, “grace” or “favor”) with French belle, “beautiful,” yielding the appealing sense of “graceful beauty.” Scholarly etymology also links it to medieval Amabel (from Latin amabilis, “lovable”), a name that softened over time into Mabel and Annabel; the modern spelling Annabelle reflects French influence and English preference for belle-compounds.

Documented in Scotland from the Middle Ages as Annabel, the name faded, then re-emerged in the 18th–19th centuries during the Romantic and Victorian revivals, later enjoying wide use across the English-speaking world and periodic popularity spikes in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. International variants include Annabel, Anabel, Anabelle, Annabella/Anabella, and Portuguese Anabela; related forms are Amabel and Mabel. Common nicknames are Anna, Annie, Belle, and Bella.
