ArchivesRe: ISABEL once again
in reply to a message by Miss Claire
I've heard about this theory, too. But I've always wondered, how Shin should turn to Zayin. As far as I know the two letters are not related or interchangeable in any way; at least not in Hebrew, I don't know about Phoenician. Or does the name Ishabel exist? All I can find in the bible is Eshba'al (1. Chr 8,33) and Ashbel (Gen 46,21), both masculine names.

I wonder too. Maybe it turned in an European language and not a Semitic one? By misprononciation? When I hear the English way of prononcing Hebrew names, I think everything is possible :p
Apparently Ishbel and Ishabel exist in Scottish though. And Baal was called Bel in Assyria and Palmyra. I also remember that I got a name close to Isabel on a name generator (was it Carthaginese, Phoenician... I don't remember...), something like Ishbal or Ishbel.
