Devonelisa, when she was here, gave me this which I saved:
"Isabeau is feminine, an older French variant of Isabel/Isabelle. Belle and Beau are incidental, not really the connection, it's a diminutive form, -eau being a standard diminutive formation of the time."

isabeau is an opposit of isabelle
belle is the female form of beau
as Isabelle is a female name Isabeau (if it is a name) has to be a male name, but i never heard of it so im not sure if it exists
belle is the female form of beau

French here!
The name Isabeau does exist, although it's very rare nowadays.
I'm sorry, but it's not the male form of Isabelle. Isabeau is the Old French for Isabelle. It has nothing to do with Belle.
In Old French, some feminine names ended in "male" ways: Isabeau, Mahaut, Brunehaut, Marion, Berthe, Alix, Margot / Margaux... because Old French was a more Germanic, less Roman language.
