Cabe: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2017.
Cabe is a name of Irish and Scottish Gaelic origin, derived from the surname Mac Cába, meaning "son of Cába," where Cába itself likely comes from a word for a cape or cloak. It is also occasionally considered a short form of Cabell or a variant of the Hebrew name Caleb, meaning "dog" or "faithful." While Cabe is not widely borne by historical figures, it gained some modern recognition through American actor Cabe, known for his role in the television series *The 100*. The name shares its root with the Scottish place name Caberston, though no direct place connections are prominent. A notable variant is the Irish surname McCabe, which is far more common and carries the same Gaelic origin.
