Ysabelle Origin and Meaning

The name Ysabelle is a girl's name of Spanish origin.

Ysabelle is an elegant feminine name, representing a medieval French spelling variation of Isabel or Isabella. The name ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning 'God is my oath' or 'God's promise.' This particular spelling with 'Y' and double 'l' evokes a sense of antiquity and romantic sophistication. While the more common Isabella saw tremendous popularity in the early 2000s, Ysabelle offers a distinctive alternative with the same melodic quality and rich historical connections. The name carries associations with nobility throughout European history, including several queens and royal figures, lending it an air of timeless grace and dignity in its less common spelling variation.
