Jazebel is Hebrew in Origin.
Jazebel is a modern, phonetic respelling of Jezebel, the biblical name recorded in Hebrew as Izevel and borne by the Phoenician queen who married King Ahab of Israel. Because the scriptural figure was vilified for promoting Baal worship, the name long carried a strongly negative connotation in Jewish and Christian traditions and saw little use in the West.
Scholars trace the origin to a Phoenician element zbl 'prince/exalted,' with proposals ranging from a liturgical phrase 'Where is the prince?' to 'Baal is exalted'; later Hebrew folk etymology linked it to zebel 'dung.' Modern variants include Jezebel (English), Jezabel/Jézabel (Spanish/French/Portuguese), Isebel (Afrikaans), and Izebel (Polish/Slavic). Jazebel adds a contemporary 'Jaz-' look and invites nicknames Jaz, Jez, and Belle. While still uncommon, it appears occasionally in recent decades as a reclaimed, edgy choice detached from its biblical stigma.
