Ysabel's not Spanish.
in reply to a message by Becki
It's just a silly variant spelling. Isabel's Spanish. Isabela's Spanish. Ysabel is not.

Yes, it very much is. :]It's listed as one of the most popular names used nearly five decades ago in Spain. It originated in Spain, and was very popular in usage in Spain, moreso than Isabel and the rest of it's variants.

Begging your pardon?Here's just one example of its use within a Spanish-speaking community--and not a recent use, either. I'd be happy to find you more references if you require them.http://www.sandiegohistory.org/collections/missions/ysabel.htmArray
