Isabel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isabella the Catholic (1451–1504) the first Spanish female monarch and a key character in the discovering of America.

Isabel (Portuguese, Spanish), Isabella (Italian), Isabelle (French) are women's names, formally translated into English as Elizabeth or Elisabeth but often substituted (in English) one for the other, seemingly arbitrarily. Spanish Isabel, for example, is often rendered into English as Italian Isabella and sometimes as French Isabelle but seldom as English Elizabeth or Elisabeth; for another example, both Isabella and Elisabetta are Italian names. The name means: "God is my oath".
