About the name Izabela
Wiktionary records Izabela and Izabella as variants of Isabel, and the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) lists them among the Portuguese variants of Isabela, a name that, according to Machado, comes from the French Isabelle and whose use was probably reinforced by the adjective bela. Isabel comes from Old Occitan Elisabel, from Latin Elisabeth and from Greek Elisábet, going back to Hebrew Elishéva, 'my God is an oath'. Behind the Name explains Elishéva through the roots ʾel, a reference to God, and shavaʿ, 'oath', and notes that Elisabeth is a name in both the Old and the New Testament. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 39,332 people named Izabela, with a median age of 15. The two spellings swap the S of Isabel for a Z; Izabella also doubles the L.
