About Izolda
The Georgian, Russian, Hungarian, and Polish form of Iseult is Izolda. The origin of the name Izolda is uncertain, with several theories proposed.
One theory suggests a Welsh origin from the name "Esyllt," meaning "who is gazed at, of fair aspect." Another theory posits a Germanic origin from the name "Ishild" or "Ishilde," a combination of "îsarn" (iron) and "hildiz" (battle, fight). A third theory suggests a Germanic origin from the name "Iswalde," a combination of "îsarn" (iron) and "waldaʐ" (ruler, might, power).
In the Arthurian legend of Tristan and Iseult, several characters bear the name Iseult. The most notable is Iseult of Ireland, the wife of Mark of Cornwall and the illicit lover of Sir Tristan. Her mother, the Queen of Ireland, is also named Iseult. The third is Iseult of the White Hands, the daughter of Hoel of Brittany, sister of Sir Kahedin, and eventual wife of Tristan.
