Origin and meaning

favored grace and beauty (English/French/Hebrew)

Annabelle entered the Philippine naming pool primarily during the American colonial period and mid-20th century through English and American influence. It combines the traditional root Anna with the suffix -belle, producing an accessible and elegant Western feminine name. It has consistently remained a familiar given name across multiple generations in the country.

Derived as a blend of Anna (Hebrew 'channah', meaning favor or grace) and the French word belle (meaning beautiful), or historically as a Scottish variant of Amabel.
