Annabelle

US Popularity Rank: 708

Origin: French

Meaning: favored grace; beauty

Annabelle is a feminine name of Hebrew and French origins. This name is a harmonious blend of the Hebrew name Anna, which translates to “favored grace,” and the French word belle which means “beauty.” This makes it a wonderful choice to celebrate baby’s beauty, both inside and out. For the literature buffs, this name may remind you of Edgar Allan Poe’s poem, “Annabel Lee,” where the narrator recounts the life and death of his stunningly beautiful wife. If you want baby to appreciate beauty in all forms—even in the poetic macabre—Annabelle leaves a gorgeous mark.
