Meaning & Origin

A female given name from Hebrew, a less common spelling of Isabel or Isabelle.

Isabell is a girl's and boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant of Isabel or Isabella, from the Hebrew Elisheba meaning 'pledged to God' or 'my God is an oath.' The simplified spelling with one-l creates a cleaner, slightly more modern feel while keeping the name's royal Spanish heritage intact.
