Isabel (Portuguese, Spanish, Provençal), Isabella (Italian), Isabelle (French), Izabela (Polish) are women's names, formally translated into English as Elizabeth or Elisabeth but often substituted (in English) one for the other, seemingly arbitrarily. Spanish Isabel, for example, is often rendered into English as Italian Isabella and sometimes as French Isabelle but seldom as English Elizabeth or Elisabeth; for another example, both Isabella and Elisabetta are Italian names. A Scottish variation of the spelling is Isobel. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...

The name Isabella, or set of names, is a Southwestern European variant of the Hebrew name Elisheva. It first appeared in medieval Provençal as Isabel. It is clear both etymologically and contextually (the use of Isabel as a translation of the name of the mother of John the Baptist) that, like the name Elizabeth in English, the name Isabel / Isabella / Isabelle derives from the Latin and Greek renderings of the Hebrew name Elisheva.[1] The word Hebrew most likely means to cross over, referring to the Semitic people crossing over the Euphrates River. ... Elisheva was the wife of Aaron, the forefather of The Kohanim, the Jewish priests, in The Bible. ... This article does not adequately cite its references or sources. ... Elisheva was the wife of Aaron, the forefather of The Kohanim, the Jewish priests, in The Bible. ...


According to Hanks/Hodges (166), the name is simply the Spanish form of the name Elisabeth, with loss of the first syllable and /l/ instead of /t/ (the latter sound does not appear word-finally in Spanish). Compare Italian Elisabetta, where the female ending -a is added.


An alternative etymology would derive the name from a hypothetical phrase, 'Isis bella', presumably derived from the Egyptian name of the goddess of love plus the Latin word for "beautiful." This article discusses the ancient goddess Isis. ...
