    Name Meaning

    English: probably from the personal name Kabell', which may be a survival of Anglo-Saxon Ceadbeald, a compound of an originally Brittonic element cad ‘battle’ + Old English beald ‘brave, bold’.

    English: metonymic occupational name for a maker of rope, especially the type of stout rope used in maritime applications, from Middle English cable ‘cable’ (from Late Latin capulum ‘halter’, a word of Arabic origin, but associated by folk etymology with Latin capere ‘to seize’).

    English: metonymic occupational name for a horseman, from Middle English cabal ‘horse’.
