Arabela is in Origin.
Arabela is a pan-Romance and Slavic spelling of Arabella, a name most often traced to medieval Latin orabilis "prayerful, easily entreated," though some scholars link it to Annabel/Amabel from Latin amabilis "lovable." The form Arabella appears in 12th–13th-century Britain, especially Scotland and England; the shorter Arbella also occurs. A famous bearer is Arbella (Arabella) Stuart (1575–1615), an English noblewoman once considered a claimant to the throne. The name waned, then enjoyed a 19th-century revival and a fresh upswing in the 21st century.
Arabela specifically is used in Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, and in Central Europe; in Czech and Slovak it gained visibility from the beloved TV fairy-tale series Arabela (1979). Variants and related forms include Arabella, Arbella, Arabel, Orabella, Annabel/Annabella, and Amabel; pet forms include Ara, Ari, Bella, and Ella. Meanings offered: "prayerful," "invoked," or "lovable."
