Devoted to God
Isela is a Spanish diminutive form of Isabel, which itself is the Spanish variant of Elizabeth. It carries the same etymological weight of 'God is my oath' or 'devoted to God.' While its exact origins are sometimes debated, it is widely recognized as a rhythmic, modern adaptation within Hispanic communities.
