Meaning & Origin

A female given name.

Clarabelle is a girl's baby name, a compound of Clara (from Latin clarus meaning 'bright, clear, famous') and Belle (from French meaning 'beautiful'), creating a name that means 'bright and beautiful.'

Clarabelle carries the whimsical, storybook quality of compound names from an earlier era — it sounds like a name from a Victorian garden party or a beloved children's book character. It has the same ornate, double-barreled charm as Maribelle, Rosabelle, and Annabelle.
