Anabel is a feminine name with Spanish origins, derived from the Latin name Amabel, meaning 'lovable' or 'beautiful.' It is also a variant of the Scottish name Annabel, which combines 'Anna' from Hannah and 'Belle' from French, meaning 'grace' or 'beauty.' The name has been used since medieval times in Scotland and gained popularity in the US and other countries after 1980. Anabel is pronounced as 'ah-nuh-bel' and has various nicknames like Ana, Bela, and Bell. Despite its timeless charm, the name's popularity declined after 2014 and no longer appears in the US top 1000 names list.
