Cristabel is English in Origin.
Cristabel is an English feminine given name formed from Christ- (Greek Christos, 'anointed; Christ') and -bel/belle (Old French bel 'beautiful'), yielding senses like 'beautiful Christian' or 'fair follower of Christ.' The h-less spelling aligns with Romance orthography but the name is chiefly used in English-speaking contexts. Diminutives include Chris, Christie/Chrissy, Belle, and Bella.
Use is recorded from at least the early modern period, but it gained literary and Victorian currency through Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem Christabel (published 1816), and later via suffragette leader Dame Christabel Pankhurst, keeping the name in public view. Spelling variants and elaborations include Christabel, Christabelle, Cristabelle, and Christabella; the Cristabel form remains the rarer modern choice. Related forms in other languages are uncommon, though occasional adoption occurs in Romance-language countries under English influence.
