Meaning & origin
Izabel is a distinctive spelling of the classic Isabel, historically rooted in the Hebrew Elisheva. First recorded in U.S. data in 1922, it has never reached the top tiers of popularity but saw its peak year in 2007. Since 2008 the name has been falling in usage, yet it remains a familiar variant in communities with Portuguese influence. In 2025, the name's rank was 3296, with an incidence of about 1 in 34,197 births. The states where Izabel is most common are Florida, California, and Texas, reflecting its presence in multicultural urban areas. While it trails behind the more common Isabel and Isabella, Izabel offers a streamlined spelling that still connects to a long tradition of use.
Izabel is a spelling variant of Isabel, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Elisheva, meaning 'God is my oath.' The name traveled through Greek (Elisabet) and Latin (Elizabeth) before entering the Romance languages. The variant Izabel is especially common in Portuguese and Brazilian contexts, where the 'z' reflects the local pronunciation.
