ISABELLE. French
form of Latin Isabella
(q.v.), meaning "to whom God (is) an oath." Usage: America, England,
France.
Elisabeth
of Hainault, on her marriage with Philippe Auguste, seems to have been
the first to suffer the transmutation into Isabelle, the French
being the nation of all others who delighted to bring everything into
conformity with their own pronunciation. The royal name thus
introduced became popular among the crown vassals, and Isabelle
of Angouleme, betrothed to Hugues de Lusignan, but married to King John,
brought Isabel to England, whence her daughter, the wife of Friedrich
II., conveyed Isabella to Germany and Sicily... (History of Christian
Names, Yonge, 1884)
