Beautiful altar or yielding to prayer
Aribella is a modern compound name likely formed by combining the Latin 'Ara' (altar) or the Germanic 'Arin' (eagle) with the popular suffix 'Bella' (beautiful). It is often treated as a more elaborate variation of Arabella, which has roots in the medieval Scottish name Orabilis, meaning 'yielding to prayer'.
