ArchivesRe: Origin of my daughter's name
in reply to a message by Anneza
Hi!
Arabella can be a form of Annabella as well ("beautiful Anna" in Italian) or can have the meaning "little Arabian woman" in Spanish. But the Latin meaning given by Anneza is the most common one!
Regards, Satu

I do not wish to start an argument with any of the intelligent people on this board. I am noncontroversial. When I use my mouse to move up or down a page, I avoid pushing the scroll bar---instead, I gently pull it.
Arabella is a feminine name discussed in “The Dictionary of First Names,” by Alfred J. Kolatch, c 1980, p. 310. "From the Latin ara, meaning "eagle" plus the Latin bella, meaning "beautiful." . . . Lady Arabella Stuart (1575-1615) . . ."
