Donnabel is a unique and melodic female given name of Latin origin, meaning 'gift from God'. It is composed of the elements 'don' meaning 'gift', and 'abel', an abbreviation for 'able', implying capability or worthiness. This name was popularized by Irish playwright George Fitzmaurice in his 1920s stage production of 'The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name'. Donnabel is often associated with elegance, charm, and a certain je ne sais quoi, making it an attractive choice for parents seeking a distinctive and meaningful name for their daughter.
"This rare name, Donnabel, had five instances of birth recorded each in the years 1918 and 1922, followed by another five in 1935, summing up to a total of fifteen births over these decades."
