Technically, it's a combination of
Isabel and
Maria. In Spain it would probably be heard more as a nickname, but in Latin American countries name fusions like Isamar are encountered as given names. It's found in Brazil as well. (I happen to be from Brazil.)
(
Mariana is related to
Maria, though - it's a fusion of
Maria and
Ana.)
