What is the meaning of the name Inbal ?

The baby name Inbal is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced in-BAHL (Hebrew: /inˈbal/).

Inbal is Hebrew in Origin.

Hebrew given name Inbal derives from the common noun עִנְבָּל (inbal), the clapper or “tongue” inside a bell, evoking clarity of voice, resonance, and musicality. It is used mainly as a feminine name in Israel, though it can be unisex. The term is attested in later (post‑biblical) Hebrew rather than the Bible, and the name belongs to the modern repertoire of Hebrew lexical names adopted during the 20th‑century revival of the language.

Inbal rose in popularity in Israel from the 1960s onward and is associated with the arts; notable bearers include choreographer Inbal Pinto and cellist Inbal Segev. Common transliterations are Inbal and, less often, Einbal; affectionate forms such as Inbali appear in Hebrew. Related but etymologically distinct is Inbar (“amber”), sometimes confused due to similar sound. Variants in other languages are uncommon, so the form Inbal is generally retained internationally.
