Meaning and history
Maybelle is an English feminine blend of May and Belle. May may refer to the month or shorten Mary and Margaret, while French belle means “beautiful.” Because its components can have different sources, the name does not possess one ancient literal meaning. It became established in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The defining bearer is American musician Maybelle Carter, whose guitar style and work with the Carter Family profoundly influenced country and folk music.
