Meybille Bay, on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, is between Greymouth and Westport. It appears on an early map as 'Mabel' Bay, and has also been known as Maybelle Bay. and Mabelle Bay. Mark Pickering in The Coastal Journey (1993) claims it should actually be 'Mabille' Bay, after the Austrian surveyor Theophilus Mabille. Reed and Dowling in Place Names of New Zealand (2010) say it is named after successful French prospector Jean François Meybille, who died in a shipwreck on the return to France.
