    Editor’s reflection

    A Latin name meaning 'wonderful' — used in Christian tradition for something worth beholding.

    Mirabel comes from the Latin mirabilis, 'wonderful' or 'to be marvelled at.' It's not the name of any figure in the King James Bible, but the word itself echoes Scripture on almost every page. The Psalmist repeatedly praises the 'marvellous works' of God (Psalm 9:1, 40:5, 105:2), and the New Testament calls believers into the 'marvellous light' of Christ (1 Peter 2:9). For Christian parents, the name Mirabel is essentially a one-word doxology.

    Historically the name spread through medieval Europe as Mirabelle, appearing in saints' lives and courtly literature. It fell almost entirely out of use for several centuries before returning in the 21st century, boosted by the film Encanto but also by a wider revival of vintage Latinate names like Aurelia, Isabella, and Amelia.

    As a Christian name today, Mirabel carries a gentle theological claim: this child is a wonder — not because she is unusual, but because every human life bears the image of God. It pairs well with plainer middle names (Mirabel Grace, Mirabel Ruth) that let the meaning breathe.

    “I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.”
    — Psalm 9:1 KJV
