Help[Facts] Re: The names Elizabeth and Izabel
in reply to a message by ami1836
I hold no position on this matter, but your post raises a question for me,
Would Phoenician parents actually name their daughter "foreign trash?" I could see where the Hebrews would assign such a pun, AND how she would have brought infamy to her name, but if Isabel DOES derive from (a Phoenician name) Jezebel, wouldn't some Phoenician interpretation be more flattering?
