Jezabel in Yiddish hebrew translation is Izevel, which is pronounced "Izebel". So very likely Isabel is a dirivation. The name does not mean wicked, though the woman was. It means "exalted bel" ( who in biblical text was her god). Baal or bel were often used in names to connect to characteristics of deities as was in Hebrew in names like Micha-el or Dani-el. The problem is who bel was in jezebel, likely Dagon or chemosh or lucifer, demonic enemies of YWH, The Most High God.
