Maybeline is English in Origin.
Maybeline is a modern English feminine name blending the medieval Mabel/Mabelle line (from Amabel, Latin amabilis 'lovable') with the elaborating suffix -ine, and sometimes felt to echo May plus Belle. The month name May goes back to Roman Maia, adding a springlike association, while the -beline/-belline endings mirror French-influenced forms. As a result, its core meaning is 'lovable, dear,' with overtones of 'beautiful' and 'of May'.
Usage appears in the United States from the early 1900s in variant spellings, though it has remained uncommon. Popular culture in the mid-20th century raised awareness of related forms such as Maybelline, Maybelle, and the rock 'n' roll title 'Maybellene', and these have cross-influenced spellings. Established variants include Mabeline, Mabelene, Maybelline, Maybelle, and Mabel; short forms Mae, May, Belle, and Lina are typical. The name offers vintage charm with an ornate, lyrical finish.
