History & Origin

Adabelle is a compound name pairing Ada, from a Germanic element meaning 'noble', with Belle, French for 'beautiful'. Double names of this kind - Annabelle, Maribelle, Adabelle - were fashionable in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Unusually for this group, Adabelle's small high point came recently rather than long ago.

Adabelle has always been rare - only a few dozen girls a year even at its modest peak around 2013, when the taste for vintage -belle names briefly lifted it. It reads as a name with one foot in the past and one in the present, sweet and old-fashioned yet freshly chosen by revival-minded parents.

Did you know? Adabelle is really two names in one - Ada, 'noble', plus Belle, 'beautiful' - and its little peak around 2013 shows how the vintage-revival taste brought such double names back.
