Meaning & origin

Mirabella is a relatively modern addition to American baby names, first recorded in 1991. It has been steadily rising in popularity since 1993, reaching its peak rank of 2,607 in 2025. The name's appeal likely stems from its melodic Italian sound and its positive meaning of "wonderful" or "admirable." It is most popular in New York, California, and Florida, reflecting a trend toward elegant, multi-syllabic names. With its blend of familiarity and distinctiveness, Mirabella offers a fresh alternative to more common names like Isabella or Gabriella.

Mirabella is a feminine given name derived from the Italian "mirabella" meaning "wonderful" or "admirable." It is related to the Latin "mirabilis" (wonderful) and is a cognate of the Spanish name Mirabel. The name has been used in Italy for centuries but saw a resurgence in English-speaking countries starting in the late 20th century.
