Izabelle

Meaning of Izabelle

Izabelle is a modern respelling of Isabelle, the French form of Isabel, which in turn comes from the Hebrew name Elizabeth (Elisheba), meaning “God is my oath.” The inserted “z” lends a dash of contemporary energy to an otherwise time-honored royal staple once worn by medieval queens of France and Spain. In the United States, Izabelle has charted in the lower half of the Top 1,000 since the mid-1990s, rarely breaking 700 but never vanishing—a picture of modest yet consistent appeal that offers parents familiarity without overcrowding at the kindergarten cubbies. Nicknames such as “Izzy” or “Belle” provide easy informality, while the full form retains a poised, almost lyrical quality, reinforced by its bell-like ending and clear three-syllable cadence. Balancing tradition with a subtle twist, Izabelle gives a child a name recognizable across the English-speaking world yet distinctive enough to stand out on a class roster or, with luck, in future boardroom directories.
