Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Latin, variant of Annabel or Annabelle.
Annabella is a girl's baby name of Latin origin, an elaboration of Annabel, combining Anna (from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace') and bella (from Latin bellus, meaning 'beautiful'), together meaning 'beautiful grace' or 'graceful beauty.'
Annabella carries the baroque, jewel-encrusted quality of double-name constructions — it's a name that arrives fully formed with its own grandeur. Historical Scottish queen Annabella Drummond and contemporary actress Annabella Sciorra have worn it with distinction. The name's sheer musicality — five syllables flowing with natural grace — makes it one of the most purely beautiful names in the English tradition.
