Nabil is of Arabic origin, derived from the root 'nabala', which means 'to attain success'. It signifies prosperity and achievement. Traditionally popular among Muslims, Nabil is often used by families hoping to bestow their child with these positive attributes.
The name Nabil has seen a significant increase in popularity over the years, with birth numbers ranging from a low of 5 in certain years to a high of 63 in 2015. There are several peaks observed around the mid-90s and early 2000s, with the most notable ones occurring in 1982, 1983, 1994, and 2002. Since then, the popularity has been fluctuating but maintaining a relatively high level of consistent births each year until recently where it started to decline slightly from 2017 onwards.
