Meaning & Origin
Maybelline is a girl's baby name of English origin, a variant of Mabel or Maybelle, from the Latin amabilis, meaning 'lovable' or 'dear.' Most famously, Maybelline is the name of the iconic cosmetics brand founded in 1915 by Thomas Lyle Williams — inspired by his sister Mabel.
Maybelline has a vintage, glamorous quality — it evokes Jazz Age beauty and Old Hollywood elegance. For parents who love names that are simultaneously nostalgic and surprisingly fresh, Maybelline is irresistibly charming.
