Jezabelle is Hebrew in Origin.
Jezabelle is a modern English elaboration of Jezebel, ultimately from Hebrew Izevel (Izebel). The etymology is debated: scholars connect it to Northwest Semitic zbl, "prince/exalted," yielding readings such as "Baal is exalted" or the ritual cry "Where is the Prince?" The pathway into English runs through Greek Iezabel and Latin Iezabel. The -belle ending in Jezabelle echoes French belle ("beautiful") and names like Isabelle, though this is a stylistic overlay rather than the original root.
In the Hebrew Bible, Jezebel was the 9th-century queen of Israel, which gave the name a longstanding negative aura in English and kept usage rare. Late 20th- and 21st-century parents have occasionally reclaimed it with softer spellings. Variants include Jezebel, Jezabel, Jezebelle, and Jezabelle; related nicknames and short forms include Jez, Jeza, Jessa, and Belle.
