Jezabell is English in Origin.
Jezabell is an elaborated spelling of Jezebel, ultimately from Hebrew Izével (אִיזֶבֶל), a rendering of a Phoenician royal name. The etymology is disputed: some read it through Hebrew as “not exalted” or “without honor,” while Northwest Semitic evidence (Ugaritic zbl, “prince”) suggests a cultic phrase meaning “Where is the Prince?” - a reference to the storm-god Baal. Because of this ambiguity, many modern bearers treat the name’s sense as open or symbolic rather than literal.
Usage is marked by the biblical Queen Jezebel of Tyre in 1–2 Kings, whose notoriety made the name rare for centuries in Jewish and Christian contexts, and a byword for a shameless woman. In recent decades it has seen limited revival in English-speaking countries. Variants include Jezabel (Spanish/Portuguese), Jézabel or Jezabelle (French/English), and Jessabelle; common nicknames are Jez, Jeza, Belle, and Bella.
