What is the meaning of the name Iselin ?

The baby name Iselin is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced EE-seh-lin (Norwegian: /ˈiːse.lɪn/),ih-SEH-lin (English: /ɪˈsɛlɪn/).

Iselin is Norwegian, Scandinavian in Origin.

Iselin is a modern Scandinavian feminine given name, especially popular in Norway from the late 20th century. It is widely understood as a diminutive built on Isa - a short form of Elizabeth/Isabella - plus the affectionate suffix -lin, giving the sense “little Isa.” Through Isa, the name inherits the Hebrew meaning of Elizabeth (Elisheva): “God is my oath” or “pledged to God.” The form aligns with Nordic naming patterns that add -lin/-line to create light, lyrical variants.

As a given name, Iselin surged in Norway in the 1980s–1990s and has modest use in Denmark and Sweden; it appears occasionally in German- and English-speaking countries via Nordic influence. The surname Iselin exists independently in German/Swiss contexts, but is etymologically separate from the modern Norwegian given name. Variants and related forms include Iseline, Iselinn, Iselina, and French/Swiss Isaline; short forms include Isa and Isi.
