Lovable or worthy of love
Mayble is a rare variant of Mabel, which originated as a medieval contracted form of the Latin name Amabilis. While the 'Mabel' spelling became the standard, this 'Mayble' variation emphasizes the 'May' prefix, often associated with the month or the hawthorn flower. It fell out of common usage in the early 20th century but retains a sweet, antique charm.
