ISABEL

Gender: Feminine Usage: Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, German Pronounced: ee-sah-BEL (Spanish), ee-za-BEL (French), IZ-ə-bel (English), ee-zah-BEL (German) [key]

Medieval Provençal form of ELIZABETH. It spread throughout Spain, Portugal and France, becoming common among the royalty by the 12th century. It grew popular in England in the 13th century after Isabella of Angoulême married the English king John, and it was subsequently bolstered when Isabella of France married Edward II the following century. This is the usual form of name Elizabeth in Spain and Portugal, though elsewhere it is considered a parallel name, such as in France where it is used alongside Élisabeth.

Elisabeth is a biblical name... unsure of whether or not any of the Elizabeth's in The Bible were of the tribe of Judah or not. (jewish)
