Izola

Izola Origin and Meaning

The name Izola is a girl's name.

Izola is a feminine given name with multiple possible origins. It may be derived from the Italian city of Isola, meaning 'island' in Italian. Alternatively, it could be a variant of Isabel/Isabella (of Hebrew origin meaning 'pledged to God') or Isolde (a name from medieval Arthurian legend). The name appears in historical records in the United States dating back to the late 19th century, though it has always remained relatively uncommon. A notable bearer was Izola Curry, a historical figure from the Civil Rights era. The name saw modest usage through the early-to-mid 20th century but became increasingly rare after the 1950s. Izola has a melodic quality with its succession of open vowel sounds that gives it a distinctive lyrical quality.
