Maibeline is English, French in Origin.

Maibeline is a modern English elaboration blending the vintage Mabel (from medieval Amabel, Latin amabilis “lovable”) with the fashionable French -ine ending and the May/Mai or belle “beautiful” element. Depending on the reading, it can mean “lovable,” “beautiful May,” or “beloved beauty.” Common pronunciations are MAY-bə-leen and MY-bə-leen, the first aligning it with May, the second with Mai.

The name appears rarely in records, used mainly from the late 20th century onward as parents revived Mabel and experimented with lyrical -ine forms. It sits near a web of spellings and cognates: Mabeline, Maybeline, Maybelline, Mabelene, Maybel, Mabel, and Amabel. Pop-culture echoes include the cosmetics brand Maybelline (coined from Mabel + Vaseline) and Chuck Berry’s song “Maybellene,” which helped keep the sound familiar. Maibeline offers a romantic, slightly whimsical alternative to Mabel without losing its warm, “lovable” core.
