Annabella

US Popularity Rank: 2259

Origin: French

Meaning: favored grace; loveable

Eluding ethereal beauty, Annabella is a melodic French feminine name befitting those whose essence mere words fail to describe. Dancing off the tongue in a pleasant harmony, Annabella is an exquisite meeting of the Latin name Anna, "gracious," and the French belle, meaning "beautiful." Yet there are those who believe that dear Annabella is much more than "favored grace," but a gorgeous rendering of the Latin amabilis, meaning "loveable." In every interpretation, Annabella endures as the epitome of elegance that very few can resist.
