Annabelle is associated with the meaning “Graceful, favored grace, or beautiful grace” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Annabelle brings together two powerful traditions into one graceful package. The name emerged as a combination of Anna and Belle, fusing the Hebrew "Hannah" (meaning grace or favor) with the French and Latin word for beautiful. Some scholars trace its roots to medieval Scotland, where it appeared as Amabel or Annabel, derived from the Latin "amabilis" (lovable). By the 18th century, the spelling Annabelle had taken hold, particularly in English-speaking countries.
