German: from a post-humanist personal name, Hannibal (see 2 below).
English: post-medieval variant of Annable , from Middle English Amabil, Annabel. This female personal name fell out of fashion in the late Middle Ages, and the source of the surname was no longer recognized. It was re-interpreted in the 16th century by classically educated gentlemen as being the name of the Carthaginian general, Hannibal (247–182 BC ). The surname was also sometimes later re-etymologized as honey + ball or bell, hence spellings such as Honeyball and Hunnibell. In this new guise, it coincided with an established variant of Annable with initial H-.
History: There is no evidence for the use of Hannibal as a personal name in England before 1619, when Hannibal Gammon was rector of Mawgan in Pyder, Cornwall. As a medieval surname, it was borne by Matthew Hanibal (1255) and Peter Haniballus, both described as ‘civis Romanus’, and obviously Italians, but it is unlikely that either of these Italian merchants or moneylenders founded an English family.
