What does the name Issabella mean?
Issabella is a spelling of Isabella, pronounced the same way, so it shares Isabella's meaning and origin.
Isabella is the Latin and Italian form of Isabel. Isabel arose from the medieval Provençal form Elisabel, a form of Elizabeth. The name therefore goes back to the Hebrew name Elisheba, explained as 'my God is an oath'. Many medieval queens bore it: DMNES lists queens of France, England, Castile and Portugal.
