Fabiola is a name of Latin origin, often associated with the meaning "bean grower." It has been used in various cultures and can refer to both individuals and fictional characters. The name gained popularity in the early Christian era, partly due to Saint Fabiola, a Roman matron known for her charitable works and contributions to the early church. In modern times, Fabiola is a common name in many countries, particularly in Spanish and Italian speaking regions. It is often celebrated for its elegance and historical significance, making it a popular choice for parents naming their daughters.
