Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Arabella je stredoveké meno doložené v Škótsku v podobách Arabella, Orabel a Orabilis. Najčastejšie sa vysvetľuje ako hlásková obmena mena Annabel; konkurujúci výklad ho spája priamo s latinským orabilis „vyslyšateľná, prístupná prosbám“. Populárne významy „krásny oltár“ či „vypočutá modlitba“ nie sú presným vedeckým prekladom.
