Maybelle

US Popularity Rank: 5601

Origin: British

Meaning: lovable

Maybelle is an alternative version of Mabel with a healthy dose of added Southern charm. This English name means "lovable" and is a contraction of the Latin name Amabel. There's a whole lot of love packed into these two sweet syllables, so it's ideal for reminding your little one about how much you care about them. You'll find this name on the stage in one of Hairspray's main characters, Motormouth Maybelle.
