Maybe she had a half french grandma or something similar
even then, inmigrants usually tried to give their kids more spanish sounding names so they would blend more or werent even allowed to by law. i looked it up in the national registry (their data goes back to 1922), and since 1945 (when the first person named isabelle was born) and 2015, only 51 babies were named Isabelle. while its possible, its higly unlikely
It was probably a translation error tbh
Sounds like it yes
You can tell the story isn't very accurate and they didn't look that much into the cultural aspect of it. And just like the other comment says, the translation might have ruined her name. With the korean alphabet, Isabelle and Isabel are identical
yeah, i undestand that. still it bothers me a lil
as an argentinian, using the french spelling for names is pretty weird. Isabel or, even more common, Isabela were, imo, better choices
