"איזבל" meaning in Hebrew

See איזבל in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /(ʔ)iˈzevel/ [Modern-Israeli-Hebrew] Forms: אִיזֶבֶל [canonical], 'izével [romanization]
Etymology: From אִי and זְבֻל. Sense Uncertain. Seemingly "not exalted" or "not husbanded" in the sense of shame or lawlessness, likely an intentional alteration of a Punic name attested 𐤁𐤏𐤋𐤀𐤆𐤁𐤋 (b‘l’zbl), בעלאזבל ('Ba'al is exalted'.) Formerly it was thought to bear the sense, through "not husbanded", of "chaste" or "modest". The European name Isabel is similar in transliteration but is unrelated. An alternative explanation is from אֵיזֶה and בַּעַל (’ēyze ba’al) meaning "Where is Ba'al?" Perhaps was a ritualistic chant during Ba'al worship.
