Izobel
A girl's name of Hebrew origin with 10 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Only 10 babies have been named Izobel in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.
Izobel is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Izobel is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a Scottish variant of Isabel, meaning 'pledged to God.' The Scottish Highlands gave this name its -obel spelling — a version with an authentic Celtic ruggedness.
EtymologyShow more
Izobel first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 2011. A twenty-first-century entry, Izobel belongs to the newest generation of American names — often coined, blended, or borrowed from international sources.
Its Hebrew classification suggests a path from hebrew linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
