Even though Bella isn't really a typical Polish name and Izabela would be considered the closest actual Polish name to it, it's still used here. Last year (2022) 9 baby girls were given the name Bella. Another 5 girls were given this name as a middle name. In total, as of January this year, there have been 247 Bellas in Poland, plus 137 women with Bella as their middle name. A Polish Bella could celebrate her name day with Izabela (February 23, March 16, July 4, August 31 or September 3).
Bella is also Italian, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese, Hungarian (used as a short form of Izabella) and Latvian. The name day for Bella in Hungary is August 31. The name day foe Bella in Latvia is September 3.Source: https://forebears.io/forenames/bella

The *name* Bella is English. The word (not name) 'Bella' is Italian for 'beautiful' as the word 'belle' is French for beautiful. Either way though it is lovely and very versatile. It's a nickname that can be used by a lot of different names.

My name is Bella, how can it be English if it means beautiful in Italian? It is an Italian name, and Belle is French. None of these are English.
