Isabell is a feminine given name of German origin, derived from the Germanic elements 'is' meaning ice and 'helm' meaning helmet or protection. The name has been associated with the historical figure Isabella of Bavaria (1370-1435), who was the wife of King Charles VI of France and a powerful political figure in her own right. The name Isabell is less common than its variants Isabella and Isabelle, but it shares the same meaning and origins. In some cases, Isabell may also be considered a variant spelling of the name Isabel, which has a similar origin and meaning.
The name Isabell, although not commonly used today, has had a brief moment of popularity in the United States during the year 1929. According to statistics from that year, there were a total of five babies born who were named Isabell. While this number is quite small compared to current birth rates and popular names, it is interesting to note that all five girls who shared this name entered the world in the same year. It's fascinating to imagine what their experiences might have been like growing up with such an unique name during their time, and how they may have carried their individuality into adulthood as a result. Although Isabell is no longer a popular choice for baby girls today, it remains a classic name that was once favored by parents in the United States nearly a century ago.
