Did you know?
- While イザベル is the phonetic transcription, Japanese people might choose kanji characters to write the name 'Isabel' to give it a specific meaning, such as 'beautiful' or 'bell'.
- When calling out to an 'Isabel' in a social setting, a Japanese speaker would almost always add the suffix さん 'san' to the end, as calling someone just イザベル can sound overly blunt or intimate.
- Because the 'l' sound does not exist in Japanese, the ル 'ru' at the end of イザベル is a blend of 'r' and 'l' that sounds like a light flick of the tongue.
