Historical references
Isadore of Seville (c. 456-521 AD) was a prominent Christian scholar who is believed to have given his name to the form of Christian hymn called the Isidorean sequence. The term 'Isidorean sequence' was used to describe a hymn with the refrain 'Gloria Patri' (Glory to the Father). The name Isadelle may have originated from this hymn form, with the suffix '-elle' indicating a diminutive or feminine derivative.
Early Middle Ages (5th-6th Century AD)
Isabelle of France (1295-1358 AD) was a French queen consort and mother of King John II of France, and also a patron of the arts. She was posthumously named 'Isadelle' by the Cistercian monks of the Abbaye du Val-Sainte-Croix in the Loire valley, who composed the 'Chanson d'Isadelle', a devotional poem in her honour, which became a popular and influential work in the Middle Ages. The name Isadelle may have been given to her due to its association with the Isidorean hymn form and its use as a feminine derivative.
Late Middle Ages (14th Century AD)
