Has anyone else heard of this name Isabeau
My freind and i heard it in a film where it was the name of the main female character dispite its Beau ending
We think it is a varient of Isabel one of my baby name books lists it as such but the book in question isnt very reliable and the obvious answer isnt always the right one

It's uncommon but familiar here in South Africa, where we have English, Dutch, German and French names all happily coexisting - and that's just the European languages! It's definitely feminine, and used less often than Isabel/le/la but it's there.
In fact, it features in a cute little poem that I won't inflict on you; called (I translate) Ballade of the Married Girlfriends, it is in strict ballade form and features the poet having afternoon tea with his auntie and answering her questions; they make him think further: What really did happen to Elsabe? What really did happen to Isabeau?
Elsabe, by the way, is a form of Elizabeth that I like very much; pronounced EL-suh-bee.
