About the name Mabel
Mabel is a worn-down form of the medieval Amabel, and for a while around 1890 it was among the ten most popular names in America. It has come back through the same vintage door as Hazel and Pearl, arriving with a comic timing the others do not have.
Mabel is a girl name of Latin origin, pronounced MAY-bul. On the NameRarity scale it scores 68 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1890s.
