'Amabelle' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'amabilis', where the root 'am-' (from 'amare') meant 'to love' and the suffix '-abilis' meant 'able or worthy of'.

'Amabelle' changed from Old French names such as 'Amable' or 'Amabel' and eventually became the modern English given name 'Amabelle'.

Initially, it meant 'lovable' in the sense of 'worthy of love', and over time it has remained as a personal name carrying that sense.
