Isabel (Portuguese,Spanish), Isabella (Italian), Isabelle (French) are women's names, formally translated into English as Elizabeth or Elisabeth but often substituted (in English) one for the other, seemingly arbitrarily. Spanish Isabel, for example, is often rendered into English as Italian Isabella and sometimes as French Isabelle but seldom as English Elizabeth or Elisabeth; for another example, both Isabella and Elisabetta are Italian names.
