What is the meaning of the name Sabilla ?

The baby name Sabilla is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced suh-BIL-uh (səˈbɪlə),sah-BEE-lah (saˈbiːla).

Sabilla is Arabic, Italian, Latin in Origin.

Sabilla is a rare medieval and early modern variant of Sibilla/Sibylla, the name of the ancient prophetesses, from Greek Sibylla “seeress, oracle.” Carried into Latin and then vernaculars across Europe, the root produced a wide family of spellings; Sabilla reflects the fluid medieval interchange of vowels and the spread of Romance forms. Its meaning centers on foresight and inspired prophecy, a theme popular in Christian Europe where the Sibyls were believed to have foretold sacred events.

The wider name saw broad medieval use: think Queen Sibylla of Jerusalem, Italian and German forms in saintly and noble circles, and later English Sybil, revived in the 19th century. Today Sabilla remains extremely uncommon, often appearing as a family or regional spelling. Related variants include Sibilla (Italian), Sibylla/Sybilla, Sibyl/Sybil (English), Sibylle (French/German), and Sibila (Spanish/Portuguese).
