📖 À propos Mabelle
Mabelle est une variante elegante de Mabel, dont les racines remontent a l'ancien francais Amabel et au latin amabilis, signifiant 'aimable', 'adorable' ou 'digne d'etre aimee'. Le passage du latin Amabilis, via le normand, vers l'anglais medieval a d'abord produit Amabel, puis Mabel ; l'ajout du suffixe francais -elle a donne naissance a Mabelle, une orthographe qui restitue une douceur gallicane et melodieuse au prenom. A l'epoque victorienne et edouardienne, Mabelle etait prisee par les parents souhaitant allier la chaleur de Mabel a une touche de raffinement continental. Comme beaucoup de prenoms vintage, il est tombe en desuetude vers le milieu du XXe siecle, avant de connaitre un regain d'interet au debut du XXIe siecle.
