I names for girls include a whole family of related names built around Isabella. Isabel is a medieval Spanish and Portuguese form of a Hebrew name meaning my God is an oath, and Isabella, Isabelle, Izabella and Isabela are its Italian, French and modern variants. Each has a slightly different style, so choosing among them is mostly a matter of which spelling and sound you prefer.
The rest of the letter draws on nature, mythology and many languages. Ivy is a climbing plant and Iris is both a flower and the Greek goddess of the rainbow. Isla is a Scottish name taken from an island and river. Irene comes from the Greek word for peace and was the name of a goddess, and Ingrid is an old Norse name. Imani is a Swahili word meaning faith, Itzel has roots in the Maya tradition, and Ivanna is a feminine form of a Slavic name. Iliana and Ivory add a softer, more lyrical option.
Because the Isabella group is so large, you may want to consider how common and how confusing the spelling might be. The vowel at the start can blend with a surname beginning with a vowel, so say the full name aloud to see how it sounds.
