Origin: Basque

Meaning: Invoked; Answered prayer

Arbella is a delicate feminine name with numerous potential origins. It may be a variation of Arabella, which is a medieval Scottish title composed of Anna and Bella. Another theory suggests that the name comes from the Latin orabilis, which means “invoked” and “answered prayer.” It may also be a diminutive of medieval Basque Mariarbel, a combination of Maria and arbel, translating to “slate” and “shell.” No matter which roots baby Arbella takes after, they will know they are a dream come true to you.
