History & Origin

Sabella is a short form of Isabella — the Spanish/Italian Elizabeth, Hebrew Elisheva, 'my God is an oath, devoted to God' — used as an independent name. It offers Isabella's silk with a road less traveled.

It registers thinly beside its towering source. Rare, devoted at the root, and silken.

Did you know? Sabella hides inside every Isabella — drop the I and a complete, melodic name steps out, the way Bella and Sabel did before her.
