Ysabelita is Spanish in Origin.

Ysabelita is a Spanish diminutive of Ysabel, the medieval spelling of Isabel, itself the Iberian form of Elizabeth. Ultimately from Hebrew Elisheva via Greek and Latin, the name means “God is my oath” or “pledged to God.” The -ita suffix marks affection and smallness in Spanish, so Ysabelita conveys “little Isabel/Elizabeth” with an antique flourish derived from the old initial Y- once common in Castilian (e.g., Queen “Ysabel” of Castile).

The Ys- spelling appears in early modern Iberian and colonial records, though today Ysabelita is rare and largely stylistic; the standard modern diminutive is Isabelita. Related forms and variants include Elizabeth, Elisabeth, Isabel, Isabela, Isabella, Ysabel, Isabelita, and diminutives such as Belita. Common nicknames are Isa, Bela/Belita, and Chabela/Chavela. Use is most plausible in Spanish-speaking contexts and the Philippines, where -ita diminutives function as affectionate given names as well as endearments.
