Meaning & origin
Isobella is a feminine name that emerged as a variant of Isabella, first recorded in the United States in 1996. The name reached its peak popularity in 2009, and after a decline, it has been rising again since 2022. With a current rank of 14,942 in 2025, it remains an uncommon choice, appealing to parents who appreciate its lyrical sound and the nickname potential of Izzy and Bella. The spelling with an 'o' distinguishes it from the more common Isabella and Isabelle, offering a fresh take on a classic.
Isobella is a variant of Isabella, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba via the Latin and Greek forms. The name has been used across Italian and Spanish-speaking regions and became popular in English-speaking countries from the 19th century onward. The spelling with an 'o' emerged as a distinctive form, particularly in Scotland and England.
