What is the meaning of the name Fabiola ?

The baby name Fabiola is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ˌfæbiˈoʊlə/ (EN) — "fab-ee-OH-luh",/faˈbjo.la/ (ES/IT) — "fa-BYO-la".

Fabiola is Latin in Origin.

Fabiola is a Late Latin feminine name formed with the diminutive suffix -ola on Fabia, the female counterpart of the Roman family name Fabius. The root goes back to Latin faba, "bean," so the traditional sense is "bean grower" or "one of the Fabia clan," with Fabiola carrying the nuance "little Fabia." The name has been favored in the Romance languages: Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese (often spelled Fabíola), and is recognized in French.

Its enduring prominence stems from Saint Fabiola of Rome (d. 399/400), a noble widow known for charitable medical care, whose cult kept the name alive through Christian Europe. A fresh wave of use followed Cardinal Wiseman’s bestselling 1854 novel Fabiola, and international visibility rose again with Queen Fabiola of Belgium (born Spanish). Related forms include Fabia, Fabiana, and French Fabienne; male counterparts are Fabio, Fabian, and Fabius. Common nicknames are Fabi and Faby; an alternate spelling is Faviola.
