All I can think of is the Latin word "stabulum" (stable, camp)

That's a likely source. I wondered why it wasn't italianised, becoming something like Stabolo or Stabio. That led to the possibility that it is Ladin in origin.

I haven't a clue. I believe it's in the vicinity of the town of Male' which is said to be "of Roman origins".
