Kable is English in Origin.

Kable (pronounced KAY-bəl) is a modern given name taken from the surname, a variant of Cable. The surname traces to Old Northern French cable, itself from Late Latin capulum “halter,” which yielded the English word cable “thick rope.” German Kabel may also have influenced the spelling. As a given name it evokes strength and connection. Related forms include Cable, Kabel, and Cabel; nicknames such as Kabe or K are sometimes used.

Found as a surname in Britain, Australia, and German-speaking regions - famously borne by First Fleet settler Henry Kable - it shifted to first-name use in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, especially in the United States and Australia. Usage aligns with crisp, rugged monosyllables like Cade, Kane, and Trace. Kable remains rare and leans masculine but can be unisex. Pop-culture awareness of the Marvel character Cable may have indirectly supported its appeal.
