Iseabail is Scottish Gaelic in Origin.

Iseabail is the Scottish Gaelic form of Isabel/Isobel, ultimately from Hebrew Elisheva, meaning “God is my oath” or “pledged to God.” It entered Gaelic via medieval Latin Elisabetha and Old French/Occitan Isabel, settling in the Highlands as a favored feminine name. In traditional Gaelic grammar, Iseabail is the genitive of Iseabal, yet both spellings appear as given names in modern records.

Attested in parish registers and clan pedigrees from the 16th century onward, Iseabail/Isobel was common across Scotland, its popularity buoyed by devotion to St. Elizabeth and the broader European fashion for Isabel/Isabella. Related forms include Iseabal (Gaelic), Isbeil (older Gaelic), Ishbel (Scottish anglicization), Isobel (Scots), and Isabel/Isabella/Elizabeth in English and other languages; diminutives include Belle, Bella, and Isa. Modern bearers sometimes choose Iseabail to signal Gaelic heritage while retaining the classic pan-European lineage and meaning.
