Jezebell
Jezebell Origin and Meaning
Jezebell is a variant spelling of Jezebel, a name with profound biblical origins. In the Old Testament, Jezebel was a Phoenician princess who married King Ahab of Israel and was portrayed as a corrupting influence who promoted pagan worship. The name has historically carried strong negative connotations, often used to describe manipulative or immoral women. This alternative spelling with double 'l' softens the name somewhat while retaining its exotic, powerful quality. Despite its controversial associations, some modern parents are reclaiming Jezebell for its melodic sound and strong feminine presence. The name has a dramatic, mysterious quality with its rich 'z' sound and flowing syllables. Though uncommon in popularity rankings, Jezebell attracts those drawn to names with depth, history, and a touch of rebellion.
