Abelle, a rare name of French origin, is spelled as "æbɛl" in IPA phonetic transcription. The first syllable "æ" sounds like the "a" in "cat," and the second syllable "bɛl" includes the "b" sound followed by a short "ɛ" sound (like the "e" in "met") and ending with an "l" sound. The name Abelle may have derived from the Hebrew name Abel, which means "breath" or "vapor," or from the French word "belle," meaning "beautiful."
