Jezabel

Jezabel is a slight variation of Jezebel, the more common spelling. Though it may not crop up in many baby name lists, it possesses an interesting sound with a majestic appeal. To many, the title Jezabel could hold negative connotations, as Jezebel was a well-known figure in the Tanakh—or Hebrew Bible. She became known as an archetype for the wicked woman. The name holds many meanings, some of which are contradictory, including “to exalt,” “to dwell,” “unexhalted,” and “impure.” Despite its unfortunate meanings and one significant bearer of the name, babies will stand on their own two feet, reclaiming this enchanted name with a sense of grace.
