Arabela
Definition
A feminine first name with an elegant resonance, of uncertain origin (possibly derived from Latin 'orabilis', meaning 'inclined to prayer', or a medieval Scottish variant of the name Annabel); in Eastern European culture, the name gained spectacular popularity due to the Czech fantasy television series of the same name, broadcast in the eighties.
