Orabel is English in Origin.

Orabel is a medieval feminine given name with Latin roots, tracing to Orabilis - formed from orare “to pray; entreat” plus the adjectival suffix -abilis. The sense is usually rendered “easily entreated,” “yielding to prayer,” or more simply “prayerful.” In Anglo-Norman and Scots usage the Latinized Orabilis was vernacularized as Orabel/Orable, and later felt to belong with the -bel/-bella family of names.

Documented in Scottish and northern English charters of the 12th–13th centuries, the name faded after the Middle Ages, its mantle largely taken by Arabella. Antiquarian interest brought sporadic 19th‑century revivals, but Orabel remains rare today. Attested variants include Orable, Orabella/Orabelle and the Latin Orabilis; related forms shaped by analogy are Arabel, Arabelle, and especially Arabella. Short forms such as Ora or Belle work smoothly, preserving the historical sense of a person open to prayer or appeal.
