Isabel (〔(LDS.org: "Book of Mormon Pronunciation Guide" ) (retrieved 2012-02-25), IPA-ified from «ĭz´a-bĕl»〕) is a Romance-language given name. It is related to ''Isabelle'' (French, Dutch, German, Catalan, Provençal), ''Isabella'' (Italian), and the English ''Elizabeth''. ==Etymology== This set of names is a southwestern European variant of the Hebrew name ''Elisheva'', also represented in English and other western languages as ''Elizabeth''. It first appeared in medieval Provençal as ''Elisabel''. Guido Gómez de Silva states that these names are derived from the Latin and Greek renderings of the Hebrew name based on both etymological and contextual evidence (the use of Isabel as a translation of the name of the mother of John the Baptist).〔Guido Gómez de Silva, ''Breve diccionario etimológico de la lengua española'', Mexico City: Fondo de Cultura Económica, 1985.〕 The variant form originated through the loss of the first syllable and the replacement of final /t/ with /l/ (as /t/ does not appear word-finally in standard Spanish).〔Hanks, Patrick und Flavia Hodges. ''Oxford Dictionary of First Names''. Oxford University Press, 1996, p.166.〕 Both forms of the name exist concurrently in Italian (''Isabella'' and ''Elisabetta'') and French (''Isabelle'' and ''Élisabeth''). Both names have been borrowed into multiple other languages, giving rise to various local forms. ==Popularity== In 2013 Isabella was the tenth most popular name for girls in Australia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isabel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
