Meaning & origin
Cabe is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1976, a year that marks its earliest recorded use. It has never ranked among the top 1,000 names, but it saw its peak usage in 2004, when more parents chose it than in any other year.

Despite its obscurity, Cabe fits a contemporary style of short, punchy names ending in a hard consonant sound, similar to Cade, Cole, or Jace.
