Pledged to God
Isabela is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Isabel, which itself is a medieval variant of Elizabeth. It carries the same etymological weight as its Hebrew predecessor, signifying a sacred oath or devotion to a deity. The name has gained popularity in the United States as a more rhythmic, multi-syllabic alternative to the classic Isabella.
