Wonderful or of wondrous beauty
Mirabel is derived from the Latin word 'mirabilis', meaning 'wonderful' or 'extraordinary'. Historically used in the Middle Ages, it fell out of common use for centuries before being rediscovered by parents seeking a vintage alternative to names like Isabelle or Annabelle. It carries a sense of enchantment and admiration.
