History & Origin

Izabel descends from the Hebrew-rooted name behind Isabel, carrying the meaning 'my God is an oath'. The z spelling is the Portuguese touch, and the name sits among a wide family that includes Isabel, Isabela and Isabele. The Basque form Elixabete and the older Zabel show just how far this single name spreads across languages.

The z gives Izabel a brighter, more modern look than the classic Isabel while keeping the same flowing three syllables. The model Izabel Goulart carries this exact spelling, anchoring it firmly in Brazilian Portuguese usage.

Did you know? The meaning usually attached to Izabel is 'my God is an oath', and that core idea is what gives the name most of its long-term appeal.
