Isabelle

/ˌɪzəˈbɛl/ noun

Definition

A female given name of Spanish origin, often used in medieval and classic literature.

Etymology

From Spanish 'Isabel,' derived from Hebrew 'Elisheba' (God's oath); the name was particularly popular among Spanish and French royalty during the Middle Ages, including Queen Isabella of Spain.

Kelly Says

Queen Isabella of Spain was so influential that she essentially 'branded' her name across history—her sponsorship of Columbus, her religious authority, and her political power made Isabelle one of the most recognizable female names in Western history!
