Anabelle is a charming variant of Annabel, a name with deep Scottish roots. It likely derives from the Latin "amabilis," meaning "lovable," or blends the Hebrew "Anna" (grace) with the French "belle" (beautiful). Notable bearers include British tennis player Annabel Croft and the ethereal heroine of Edgar Allan Poe's haunting poem "Annabel Lee." While no major places share the exact name, its melodic sound has made it a perennial favourite in Scotland, offering a slightly French-influenced spelling of a classic.
