Talk:Isabel

message: Hi.  I didn't get why there are three "Isabellas" listed here.  It seems to me that this is a whole other name, despite the obvious similarity.  Wouldn't it be better to create another Disambiguation page for "Isabella" and transfer those entries there?  Then, to prevent any problems, we could add a "See also" section to each, directing to the other name, given the similarities.  But as it stands, it leads to the conclusion that one can say "Isabel" and actually mean "Isabella", which I don't believe to be the case.  I can carry out this suggested changes, unless anyone wants to object.  Regards, Redux 17:30, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There are two reasons for disambiguating Isabel, Isabella, Isabelle, and other spellings on a single page: (1) The spellings are really variants of the same name (the same woman may be named "Isabel" in an English source, "Isabelle" in a French source and "Isabella" in a Spanish source); and (2) The point of a disambiguation page is to assist the reader in finding a page they are looking for. Disambiguating variant spellings on a single page helps the reader who isn't sure how to spell the name they are looking for — or who doesn't know which of the variants Wikipedia is likely to use.

Actually, the Spanish version would be Isabel, the English could be also Isabella, which is the Italian version, too, as well as the Scottish. French use Isabelle and Isabeau and Ysabeau. 217.140.193.123 10:10, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Isabella means Isabel?

message: Honestly inserting "mother natures prized daughter " as the meaning of Isabel/Isabella/Elizabeth has to make this article the stupidest in Wikipedia. There's an abundance of websites online that give the meaning as being "God's promise" from the medieval Elisabel, from the Hebrew Elisheba. Wikis own article on the English variant "Elizabeth" even says as such, creating ludicrous discrepency between articles. 
The Scottish variant Ishbael is an Anglicisation but Isabel is clearly Provencal, derived from Elisabel, not the Gaelic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.136.79.158 (talk) 14:13, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

message: There is another page dedicate to the name variant "Isabella" and all the subjects named Isabella should probably be moved to that list. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 01:35, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Yet another Izzie 

message: I suggest that the spelling "Isabelle" originating from French, should be a separate article, as it is French, and much like Isobel and Isabella (given name), is spelled differently from "Isabel". As "Isobel" and "Isabella" is not combined in this page, I see no need for "Isabelle" to be combined onto this page. There is sufficient content for a separate article, and its history in France is not that of the history of Isabel in England or Spain. -- 65.92.247.90 (talk) 04:05, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like it was merged because of common pronunciation in English. I think this is a general issue - the lists are somewhat long already, so splitting would probably help a bit for people who know the spelling of the person they're looking for. But for people who don't, there'd have to be some hopping around trying to find it. At the same time, they have to do that for the variant Isobel which is split out. We see some traffic for that at the clickstreams already, though it is overshadowed by other traffic. And on that note, most of the top 20 is for Isabel entries which are sorted higher than Isabelle entries. So it sounds like a good idea to experiment with. --Joy (talk) 07:23, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
