Origin
Meaning and history of Yzabelle
The name Yzabelle is a variant spelling of the feminine given name Isabella, which has its origins in the medieval Romance languages of Europe. The name can be traced back to the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning "God is my oath" or "God is abundance". It was brought into the Romance languages through the Latin form "Elisabeth" and later evolved into various spellings such as Isabella, Isabelle, and Yzabelle.
This name gained significant popularity during the Middle Ages, particularly in Spain and Italy. One of the earliest known bearers of the name was Isabella of Angoulême, a French noblewoman who lived in the 12th century and was briefly Queen consort of England as the wife of King John.
In the 13th century, the name became closely associated with the Catholic Church and Christian devotion due to Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, a Hungarian princess known for her charitable works and piety. The name Yzabelle is a variant spelling that emerged later, likely influenced by different regional dialects and linguistic evolutions.
Throughout history, several notable figures have borne the name Yzabelle or its variants. One example is Yzabelle de Chalon (1292-1355), a French noblewoman and the wife of Robert of Burgundy. Another is Yzabelle de Bourbon (1436-1465), a French princess who was the daughter of Charles I, Duke of Bourbon.
In the 16th century, Isabella of Portugal (1503-1539) was a Portuguese princess who became the empress of the Holy Roman Empire as the wife of Charles V. A century later, Isabella of Parma (1741-1763) was an Italian princess who married the Habsburg Archduke Joseph.
Crossing over into the realm of literature, Isabella is a central character in the narrative poem "The Eve of St. Agnes" by John Keats, published in 1820. This literary work helped to further popularize the name during the Romantic era.
While the spelling Yzabelle is relatively uncommon, it reflects the diverse linguistic and cultural influences that have shaped the evolution of this name over centuries, carrying with it a rich tapestry of history and significance.

FAQ
Yzabelle: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Yzabelle?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 99 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Yzabelle going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 3,462,165 US residents.
Is Yzabelle a common name?
We classify Yzabelle as "Very Rare". It ranks above 64.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 100 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Yzabelle most popular?
The single biggest year for Yzabelle was 2014, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Yzabelle is about 15 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Yzabelle in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Yzabelle a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Yzabelle in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Yzabelle still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Yzabelle in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Yzabelle can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
