ArchivesRe: Is Anabel a Spanish name?
in reply to a message by Anneza
Because Isabel is the spanish form of Elizabeth or a semitic name that means "daughter of BAAL" which makes a lot of sence because in spanish "hija de Baal" sounds a lot like Isabel (hijabaal).
As for Anabel... does not come from anything else but Annabel which is the proper spelling of a name that is NOT Spanish. Even when you take it appart. Ana is a name but Bel is not a sufix of any kind and Bel is not a name on its own. The word Bell standing on its own means nothing in spanish.
BUT.... If all of the above is wrong, then I would have to say that Anabel is a compound name that comes from Ana and Isabel, just as Maribel is a compound name that comes from Maria and Isabel.
