Isabeau of Bavaria was the wife of King Charles VI of France--and it was possibly a nickname for Elisabeth. It is also the name of an opera by Pietro Mascagni, a retelling of the medieval English legend of Lady Godiva, and in the 1985 film Ladyhawke, Michelle Pfeiffer plays the heroine, Lady Isabeau d'Arjou, who assumes the form of a hawk during the day.
Pronounced ee-zuh-BO.
As of October 2026, Isabeau ranked #13866 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #5374 in 2018.
Editor's take: The name Isabeau is a girl's name of French origin meaning "pledged to God".
