Meaning and history
Mable is an English spelling variant of Mabel. Mabel developed from medieval Amabel, ultimately from Latin amabilis, meaning “lovable.” The form was used in the Middle Ages, declined after the fifteenth century, and was revived in the nineteenth century. It should not be confused with the word maple. Notable bearers include American silent-film actor Mable Normand and American jazz and blues singer Mable John.
