Annabella

Meaning of Annabella

Annabella is a sun-splashed blend of two timeless Latin favorites—Anna, “grace,” and Bella, “beautiful”—so her very name dances like a short love poem: graceful and beautiful, all at once. Picture her strolling through a Tuscan courtyard, skirt catching the breeze, bells of old cathedrals chiming in friendly applause; that’s the mood she carries into any nursery. First whispered in medieval Italy, Annabella later crossed oceans, picked up an English lilt (AN-uh-BEL-uh), and dazzled American parents most brightly around 2014 before settling into hidden-gem territory today. Storybook heroines, Baroque paintings, and even fragrant annabelle hydrangeas tag along as colorful companions, making the name feel both vintage and fresh—a little bit of grape-stained romance for a modern baby girl.
