Belles is French in Origin.
Belles is a contemporary given name with French and English roots. In French, belles is the feminine plural of belle, "beautiful," from Latin bellus. As a first name it reads as a pluralized twist on Belle and a creative spin on the Bella trend; it also echoes the English word bells, evoking festivity and clear tones. Usage as a given name is rare but visible in late-20th and 21st-century records, chiefly in English-speaking countries, while Belle has been established since the 1800s as a short form of Isabelle/Isabel.
Meaning centers on "beautiful," with possible symbolic overtones of joy and celebration. Related forms include Belle, Bella, Bel, Bells, and the longer roots Isabella/Isabelle, Annabel/Annabelle, Mirabel/Mirabelle, and Arabella. Variant plurals in Romance languages, such as Spanish bellas and Catalan belles, reinforce the aesthetic sense, but Belles remains an English-leaning stylistic choice. Nicknames include Belle and Bee.
Belles is seldom given. In all, it turns up just 70 times, across 20 countries.
