Meaning & origin
Isabele is a feminine name of Hebrew origin via French, meaning 'God is my oath.' It is a less common variant of Isabelle, with the single-'l' spelling giving it a distinctly French flair. First recorded in the United States in 1919, Isabele saw its greatest popularity in 2003, when it reached its peak and briefly appeared in the national rankings. Since then, its usage has been stable but rare, with a 1-in-N incidence too low to calculate from available data. Unlike its more popular sister forms Isabelle and Isabella, Isabele retains an understated elegance that appeals to parents seeking a familiar-sounding yet uncommon choice. Its trajectory suggests consistent but niche use, never falling into obscurity.
Isabele is a variant of Isabelle, itself derived from the Hebrew name Elisheba (meaning 'God is my oath') through Greek and Latin forms. The French spelling with a single 'l' was common in medieval times and has seen periodic revival. It peaked in popularity in the United States in 2003.
