The name Kabeliai is of unclear origin. It may be from a Lithuanian personal name Kabẽlis which is known only from Panevėžys region and possibly comes from a word Lithuanian: kabelis ('a hang, a crook, a gaff'). Otherwise, it could be from Slavic personal names Polish: Kabel, Kobiel, Kobel, Kobil, Belarusian: Кобель which descent from Belarusian: кабель, кобель 'a male wolf, a male dog, a womaniser'. It could be directly from this word as it is said that Kabeliai was a hunting dog breeding place. Finally, Belarusian: кобялка, Polish: kobiałka mean 'a basket', so it could mean 'a basket weathers' place'. [3]
