Maybel
Meaning of Maybel
Maybel is a feminine given name that emerged as a modern variant of the medieval English Mabel, itself derived from the Latin amabilis, meaning “lovable.” By reshaping Mabel into Maybel, the name subtly invokes the fresh promise of May alongside the Old French belle, “beautiful,” creating an association of springtime grace and gentle charm. Although relatively uncommon, Maybel has appeared periodically on U.S. birth registers since the late 19th century, reflecting a quiet but enduring appeal among parents who appreciate its blend of historical depth and a distinctive spelling twist. With its balanced roots and understated individuality, Maybel offers a name choice that feels both familiar and refreshingly unique.
