Mirabelle

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

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

Mirabelle draws from the Latin *mirabilis* ("wonderful") and the French *belle* ("beautiful"), making it a name that literally means "wonderfully beautiful." It first rose to popularity in medieval France and England, often associated with the small, golden Mirabelle plum—a prized fruit from the Lorraine region. While no widely famous historical bearer dominates, the name has appeared in literature and film, such as Mirabelle Buttersfield in the novel *Shopgirl* by Steve Martin. The name also shares its root with the Spanish *Mirabel* and the Italian *Mirabella*, both used as surnames and place names. A charming variant is the simpler Mirabel, which gained modern recognition through the Disney film *Encanto*, though that character's full name is Mirabel Madrigal—an unrelated but pleasant association for parents seeking a melodic, old-world feel.
