as a First Name
From Latin amabilis ‘lovable’ via Old French. Although now very rare in the English-speaking world, this name lies behind the much commoner name Annabel and also Mabel. It gained some currency from being borne by the character Amabel Rose Adams in Angela Thirkell's Barsetshire Chronicles (1933 onwards).
