Comments for MEHETABEL:
This is a very pretty and unusual name. Seems like it would make a good middle name, and a nice alternative to the very common Isabel, Annabel, etc. Definitely a name worth reviving.-- Anonymous User 11/13/2006
'Mehetabel' was the full name of Phoebe Preble's doll, nicknamed Hitty, from the book "Hitty: Her First Hundred Years" by Rachel Field.-- Anonymous User 11/5/2008
I really like this name, I think it's (sadly) underused these days, which is unusual because this name belongs to two Biblical characters. And also, I think, aside from it being a Biblical name, it's a really lovely and useable name as well. There's no reason why this name can't be as popular as Isabel, or some of the other -bel names, although I think the fact that this name is rare and barely heard of adds to its unique charm, and Hetty and Belle are really great, usable nicknames are well. :)-- walesgal92 7/11/2010
I am doing genealogy research and this name has cropped up very often in the 1700s and 1800s, though it is typically spelled Mehetable, Mehitable, or sometimes Methitable.-- Anonymous User 10/11/2010
What a really, really, *cool* name! Hettie and Belle could both work as nicknames, and the -bel ending is recognized in modern times as distinctly feminine, yet Mehetabel remains exotic. So awesome!-- erb816 12/3/2010
The name of the once-famous book 'Archy & Mehitabel' by Don Marquis, which was adapted into the musical 'Shinbone Alley'. Mehitabel was played by Eartha Kitt and Carol Channing respectively.-- bo_taylor 6/13/2011
