What is the meaning of the name Issabel ?

The baby name Issabel is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ɪsəˈbɛl/ (iss-uh-BEL).

Issabel is Spanish in Origin.

Issabel is a contemporary respelling of the classic Isabel, the Iberian form of Elizabeth. Through Latin Elisabetha and Old French Isabeau/Isabel, it ultimately traces to Hebrew Elisheva, meaning “my God is an oath” or “pledged to God.” The double-s in Issabel modernizes the look while keeping the same soft pronunciation as Isabel/Isabelle.

The broader name family has deep roots: borne by medieval queens such as Isabella of Castile and Isabella of France, and by numerous saints, it spread across Europe and into English by the Middle Ages. Issabel itself is rare but has appeared in Anglophone records since the late 20th century alongside creative spellings. Close variants include Isabel, Isabelle, Isabella, Isobel (Scottish), Isabela/Izabela, Izabel (Portuguese/Slavic), and archaic Ysabel. Common short forms are Isa, Izzy, Belle, and Bella.
