Origin and meaning of Annabella
Annabella arises from joining the Hebrew Anna, 'grace, divine favour,' with the Italian bella, giving a compound name that ideally means 'graceful and beautiful.' Some also link it to the old Annabel, a medieval form of Amabilis, 'lovable.' Common in Italy and in English-speaking countries, where the spellings Annabel and Annabelle prevail, it unites two much-loved naming elements. The result is an elegant, romantic name with a soft sound and an unmistakably Italian touch.
