Isabelles

Isabelles is a plural form that may be used to refer to multiple individuals named Isabelle. In English-language writing, the term can function as a proper noun when describing a group composed of people who share the given name Isabelle. It does not denote a single, widely recognized place, organization, or concept, and there is no canonical entry for “Isabelles” in major reference works beyond its use as the plural of a personal name.

Etymology and usage notes: Isabelle is a French variant of Elizabeth, and the plural Isabelles would be formed by adding -s. The specific meaning of “Isabelles” depends on context; in most modern texts, writers specify the individuals or use a construction that clearly indicates a group of people with that name. In formal writing, it is more common to refer to the people by name or to use a descriptive phrase rather than rely on a bare plural.

Less common uses: Some writers may adopt Isabelles as a brand name, fictional group, or title within a particular work or project. Such uses are idiosyncratic and not standardized across sources.
