Meaning and origin

Isabel means God's oath / God is my oath.

Isabel is the standard form of the Elizabeth name-family used natively in Spain and Portugal, and is also a long-established given name in French (as a variant alongside Isabelle), English, German, and Dutch usage. It carries strong associations with medieval and early-modern European royalty and, per this task's assigned SSA data, remains a steadily used name among Hispanic and broader American families in the US today.
