Idabelle

Idabelle Origin and Meaning

The name Idabelle is a girl's name.

Idabelle is a feminine name combining the classic names Ida and Belle. Ida has Germanic origins meaning 'industrious' or 'hardworking,' while Belle comes from French, meaning 'beautiful.' This graceful compound name emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when such combinations were fashionable in America. Idabelle peaked in popularity during the early 1900s and has since become quite rare, giving it a distinctive vintage charm. The name carries associations with Southern gentility and old-fashioned elegance. With the revival of vintage names and the popularity of Belle as a component in names like Isabelle, Idabelle offers an uncommon alternative with historical roots that combines industriousness and beauty in its meaning.
