Marabel is in Origin.
Marabel is a rare English given name, likely a blended or analogical form. It combines the biblical Mary/Maria element (via Mar- or Mara) with the French bel/belle “beautiful,” and sits beside relatives Mirabel and Mirabelle from Latin mirabilis “wonderful,” and Maribel, the Spanish contraction of María with Isabel. Because of these threads, Marabel is usually interpreted as “beautiful” with Marian overtones or as echoing “wonderful” through the Mirabel connection.
The name appears in Anglophone records from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when -bel/-belle endings - Annabel, Mabel (from Amabel “lovable”), Isabel - were fashionable. Usage has stayed uncommon in Britain and the United States, resurfacing occasionally in literary mentions and among parents drawn to vintage, melodious blends. Variant spellings include Marabelle, Maribelle, Maribel, and Marabelle; closely related forms are Mirabel and Mirabelle. Nicknames and short forms include Mara, Mari, Belle, and Bella.
