Isabella

  1. a female given name from Latin
    • 1918, Anni Swan, Kaarinan kesäloma, WSOY, published 1956, page 27:
      Kaarina huomasi, että hienot, romaaneista lainatut nimet Fransiska, Isabella, Armand ja Raoul jokapäiväisessä käytännössä olivat yksinkertaisesti Sikke, Iisa, Manne ja Ralle. Ainoastaan kunnallisneuvoksetar käytti alkuperäisiä nimiä, hänkin enimmäkseen vieraiden läsnäollessa ja juhlallisimmissa tilaisuuksissa.
      Kaarina noticed that the fancy names Fransiska, Isabella, Armand and Raoul, that were gotten from books, had in everyday use turned into simply Sikke, Iisa, Manne and Ralle. Only the municipal concuillor used the original names, her too only when guests were present and in more solemn celebrations.
