Mirabel

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Mirabel: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2025.

Mirabel comes from the Latin *mirabilis* meaning “wonderful” or “admirable,” sharing its root with the word “miracle.” The name gained a modern surge in popularity thanks to Mirabel Madrigal, the spirited protagonist of Disney’s animated film *Encanto* (2021). Placewise, several French towns bear the name, such as Mirabel-aux-Baronnies in the Drôme, echoing the same sense of wonder. For a further note, the name has elegant variants including Mirabelle (also a type of golden plum) and the Italian Mirabella. Though still uncommon in Scotland, Mirabel offers a vintage, lyrical alternative to more familiar choices like Isabella or Annabel, with a positive meaning that any parent would wish for their child.
