Cebele is in Origin.

Cebele is a modern spelling of Cybele, from Greek Kybelē (Κυβέλη), the name of the Anatolian/Phrygian “Great Mother” goddess. The exact etymology is debated, but scholars often connect it to a Phrygian term meaning “mountain,” yielding the sense “she of the mountains” or, by extension, “great/mother goddess.” As a given name, Cebele preserves this powerful maternal and nature-linked symbolism while softening the classical look; its form is likely influenced by Portuguese Cibele and the English Cybele.

Usage traces to the cult of Cybele in ancient Phrygia, later embraced in Greece and Rome. As a personal name it saw antiquarian revival in the 19th–20th centuries and remains rare in English-speaking countries. Recognized variants include Cybele, Kybele, Cibele (Portuguese/Spanish), and French Cybèle; related modern forms such as Cibelle also occur. Nicknames may include Cib, Cibe, or Belle. Overall, Cebele offers mythic heritage with a contemporary twist.
