Mabe Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A parish in Cornwall.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

From the village and parish of Mabe in Kerrier hundred. Hals thinks the name of the vicarage is from Cornish mab, mabe, a son, in reference to Milorus, son of Melianus, king or duke of Cornwall, who lies buried in Milor churchyard; or that Mab or Mabe, the name of the church, refers to Jesus Christ, to whose honour it may have been erected. According to Tonkin, the name of this parish in the king's book is La Vabe, that is, St Vabe or Mabe's Place. One of the nurse names of Abraham is Mabb.
