About the name Annabel
Annabel belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Annabel first appears in Social Security records in 1880. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #447 in 2014, and in 2024 130 babies received the name — 14,880 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
