Help[Facts] Re: Jezebel and Isabel
in reply to a message by Magda
It does appear that they come from the same name. The letter J did not exist in the ancient world. The name is most likely the Hebrew אִיזֶבֶל ('Izevel), which probably means "where is the prince?", a ritual question spoken in ceremonies honouring Baal. Alternatively, it may mean "not exalted"
