History & Origin

Isobelle combines the Scottish spelling Isobel with the French Isabelle. The whole family begins with Elizabeth, from Hebrew Elisheva ('my God is an oath'), which medieval Spanish and Provencal speakers reshaped into Isabel. Scotland took the name up strongly, and Isobel has been a Scottish standard for centuries, carried by queens and by generations of ordinary families. The doubled ending here is a modern softening (said 'IZ-uh-bel').

It appears only in small numbers against the commoner Isabelle and Isabella. Rare, classic, and Scottish-flavoured.

Did you know? Isobel is the Scottish spelling that has stood beside Isabel for centuries - and both trace back through medieval Spain to Elizabeth, a Hebrew name meaning 'my God is an oath.'
