Meaning and origin of Izabella
Izabella is a Spanish and Hebrew name that means “God is my oath”.
Izabella is a modern spelling of Isabella, the Spanish and Italian form of Elizabeth. It goes back to the Hebrew Elisheva, usually translated as "God is my oath." Isabella was a royal name in medieval Spain, carried most famously by Queen Isabella of Castile, who sponsored the voyage of Christopher Columbus. The spelling with a Z reflects how the name is actually pronounced in English and gives it a slightly more contemporary look. Izabella keeps all the romance of the original, and nicknames such as Izzy, Bella and Iza make it versatile from childhood to adulthood.
