## Etymology

Mabelrose's name is made of two separate names, as her parents couldn't agree on a name for her. Her mother wanted to call her Mabel, similiar to the French words "ma belle" which translates to "my beauty", as it was her mother's name. From Britian origin, the name Mabel means "lovable".

But her father wanted to call her "Rose", because of her rosy cheeks. The name Rose comes from the origins of Latin name Rosa.
