Zabella is a modern twist on a beloved classic, marrying the zesty zing of a Z with the timeless elegance of Bella. Tracing its lineage back to the Hebrew Elisheba—“pledged to God”—and flowing through the melodious Italian Isabella—“beautiful”—Zabella delivers both sacred promise and radiant charm in a sparkling package, pronounced zuh-BEL-uh (/zəˈbɛlə/). Though still charmingly rare—gracing just ten newborns in 2024 and hovering around the 940th spot in the U.S.—it’s proven a steady delight for parents who crave a name that feels fresh yet familiar. Like a dawn bathed in rosy light, Zabella arrives pre-wrapped in warmth, coaxing even the sleepiest newborn into a gummy grin with its bouncy, melodic flow. It’s a name brimming with potential, ready to light up a little girl’s story with grace, joy and a sprinkle of adventurous spirit.
