Masculine
Medieval Latin
Meaning & History
Amabilis is a Late Latin name meaning "lovable". The name was borne by a Saint Amabilis, a 5th-century priest in Riom, central France, who was venerated for his piety and service. The name shares its root with the Latin verb amare ("to love"), connecting it to other related positive-trait names.
The feminine form Amabilia exists, and in French the name evolved into Amable. While the name was historically used in medieval Latin contexts, it is rare in modern times and carries a distinctly historical or religious resonance.
