Chavela

Chavela is a feminine name of Spanish and possibly Galician origin that can inspire baby’s future love for music and singing. A less common variant of Chabela, it’s an adorable nickname for Isabel, a variant of the Hebrew Elizabeth. It translates to “my God is an oath,” making it a subtle way to share your faith with baby. If you prefer a more secular meaning, this name can also represent your promise to baby to always keep them safe, happy, and loved. For an extra dose of rhythm, baby would also be sharing their name with iconic singer Chavela Vargas. In the same way she subverted the traditional Mexican ranchera music genre into her own, your little one is sure to shake things up in life.
