Isabella

/ˌɪzəˈbɛlə/ noun

Definition

A pale yellowish-brown color; also a feminine given name of Hebrew origin meaning 'pledged to God'.

Etymology

As a color name, from Spanish 'Isabella', supposedly from Queen Isabella of Castile who vowed not to change her underwear until Granada was captured. As a name, it's a variant of Elizabeth, from Hebrew 'Elisheba'. The color meaning emerged in the 16th century.

Kelly Says

The Isabella color allegedly comes from a rather unglamorous royal vow about underwear during a siege, though this etymology is likely apocryphal. More fascinating is how the name Isabella has spawned dozens of variants across languages—from Isabel to Bella to Izzy—making it one of the most internationally adaptable names in history.
