The Story of Mirabella
Mirabella derives from the Latin 'mirabilis,' meaning wonderful or admirable, itself from 'mirari' (to wonder at). The name was used in medieval Europe, appearing in French and Italian literature as the ideal of feminine beauty. It is an elaborated form of Mirabel, which was popular in England in the Middle Ages before falling out of fashion and experiencing a modern renaissance.
Mirabella has surged recently alongside other elaborate Bella-ending names like Arabella and Isabella. Parents seeking an alternative to the very common Isabella have discovered Mirabella's vintage charm and romantic Italian sound.
In Italian culture, 'mirabile' (wonderful) carries deeply positive connotations. The name has appeared in English literature since the medieval period; Congreve used 'Mirabell' as a character in 'The Way of the World' (1700). A French fashion magazine named Mirabella ran from 1991 to 2000.
