RankLoading…|Female
“Where is the prince?”or“Not exalted”

Jezebel from the Hebrew אִיזֶבֶל ('Izevel) which probably means "where is the prince?", a ritual question spoken in ceremonies honouring Baal. Alternatively, it may mean "not exalted". In the Old Testament Jezebel is the evil wife of Ahab, king of Israel. After she was thrown from a window to her death her body was eaten by dogs, fulfilling Elijah's prophecy.

Biblical namesake: Jezebel was a Phoenician princess and queen of Israel, remembered for her influence on King Ahab and her opposition to the prophet Elijah. (1 Kings · 1 Kings 16, 2 Kings 9)
