In my family tree there is a Sibel. It is also encountered a few times as Sabel, Savil, and Sabell. I assume since there are Isabel's, that it is likely her name was in actuality, Isabel. But, my first thought was that it was Sybil. It really depends on who named who Sibel and how they got it. I am sure there are Sibels out there with their names inspired from Isabels, and likewise, there are Sibels out there derived from Sybil.
