What does Mabel mean?
/ˈmeɪbl̩/2 syllablesOrigin: Latin

Mabel comes from the Latin amabilis, meaning "lovable" or "worthy of love." It began as a medieval short form of Amabel before becoming a popular given name in its own right, especially in Britain and the U.S. in the late 1800s.

Sweet with an old-fashioned charm, Mabel suits a pet with a warm, endearing personality — the kind who's impossible not to adore. It has a homespun, cozy quality that feels both classic and comforting.
