Isobella
Girl name · 26 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Isobella: 26 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2013.
A Scottish variation of Isabella, Isobella ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning 'God is my oath' or 'my God is abundance'. This elegant form has been borne by historical figures such as Isobella of Scotland, a 15th-century princess who became Duchess of Brittany. While the more common spelling Isabella graces many places—from the Isabella River in Australia to Isabella Island in the Galápagos—Isobella retains a distinctly Scottish flavour. Its popularity in Scotland surged in the late 20th century, and it remains a cherished choice for parents seeking a traditional yet distinctive name with deep roots in faith and royalty.
