The name Annabelle is a girl's name of French origin meaning "loving". This is a charming name on the rise along with other-belle names, especially in this form, but also appealing in the more streamlined Annabel spelling, made famous by the Edgar Allen Poe poem Annabel Lee. Annabelle is saucy and stylish, a tad upscale, has a sense of humor, is melodious and lively. Annabelle was well used in the early twentieth century, took a long rest, then resurfaced in 1995.
