Seble is in Origin.

Seble is a feminine given name from the Ethiopian–Eritrean sphere, rooted in Geʿez and carried into Amharic and Tigrinya. It derives from Geʿez säbäl (ሰብለ), meaning “ear of grain” or “harvest,” a symbol of abundance, sustenance, and blessing; the name thus conveys prosperity and fruitfulness. In modern usage it functions as a quiet virtue name tied to agrarian plenty and communal wellbeing.

The name is documented across the Christian highlands from at least the medieval period and appears both alone and in devotional compounds. A notable bearer is Empress Seble Wengel (Seblewengel), consort of Emperor Lebna Dengel in the 16th century, remembered in chronicles of the wars against Ahmad Gragn. Related forms include Seblewengel/Seble Wengel (with wengel “Gospel”) and Seblewerq/Seble Work or Seblework (with wärq “gold”). Diaspora spellings may vary (Seble, Säble, Sebele), and casual nicknames like Sebi are sometimes used.
