Iselle

Iselle is a feminine given name used in several languages. It is often treated as a variant spelling of Isabelle or Isabelle-leaning forms, though in some contexts it may be regarded as an independent name. The name is typically traced back to Elisabeth, which itself comes from the Hebrew Elisheba, meaning “God is my oath.” Over time, various spellings and forms have emerged across different regions.

Usage of Iselle varies by country and language. It is found in Romance-language contexts as a less common variant of Isabelle, and it may appear as a modern or creative spelling in others. Related names include Isabelle, Isabel, Isobel, and Izabela, among others. Pronunciation and popularity can differ widely depending on language and cultural norms.

In addition to personal names, Iselle has appeared in other contexts. Notably, Hurricane Iselle was a Pacific hurricane in 2014 that affected Hawaii, being one of the more significant tropical cyclones to impact the state in recent decades. The use of the name for a storm follows the standard practice of alternating human given names in meteorology.

Overall, Iselle is primarily encountered as a given name with ties to classic forms such as Elisabeth and Isabelle, and it is remembered in part for its association with the 2014 Pacific hurricane that reached near Hawaiʻi.
