Isabelka can be a Polish or Russian nickname for Isabel. Or spelled Isabelke, it could be a German and/or Yiddish version. Isabel has its roots in Hebrew, and like most Hebrew-rooted names, it's popular in many different countries. I like its universal nature, but not how popular it has become. Thanks Twilight moms.

In 2018, 4 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Isabel who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 600th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

It *is* very common in the US now, but it's always been common in Mexico, where my family is from. My grandmother's name was Maria Isabel, and I have a cousin and a niece named Isabel. The Mexican "nickname" for this, by the way, is Chavela. Oh, and Isabel is complete enough if you speak Spanish; no need for "-lle" in Spanish pronunciation.

Isabel is replacing "Selene/Serenity/Serena" as the new name for Mary-Sue characters. I'm not saying anyone who uses this name is writing a Mary-Sue, but just you may want to shy away from it.
