Jezebella is English in Origin.
Jezebella is a modern elaboration of Jezebel, formed with the -bella ending seen in Isabella and Arabella (from Latin bellus/bella, “beautiful”). Jezebel derives from Hebrew Izevel (אִיזֶבֶל), of uncertain etymology; leading theories read it as “where is the prince?” (with zbl “prince,” a Baal epithet) or “not exalted/noble.” As a blend, Jezebella layers this ancient root with a Romance sense of “beautiful.”
The biblical Jezebel - a Phoenician princess and queen of Israel - gave the older form a lasting stigma, so Jezebella arose in the late 20th century as a reimagined, melodious option. Usage is rare but noticeable in recent Anglophone records. Variants include Jezabella, Jezabelle, and Jezabel; related forms abroad are Jezabel (Spanish/Portuguese). Nicknames: Jez, Jessa, Bella, Zella.
Jezebella turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. It's the kind of name that tends to be rare, regional, or newly made up. Whichever it is, scarcely anyone else carries it.
