What are the meanings of these names?
i think it depends on the book you read...


but these are what i found in behindthename.com








ISABELLA





Gender: Feminine





Usage: Italian, Spanish, German, English, Scandinavian, Dutch, Romanian





Pronounced: iz-蓹-BEL-蓹 (English) [key]


Latinate form of ISABEL. A notable bearer of the name was the powerful ruling queen Isabella of Castile, who sponsored the explorations of Christopher Columbus.














JACOB





Gender: Masculine





Usage: English, Dutch, Scandinavian, Biblical





Pronounced: JAY-k蓹b (English), YAH-kawp (Dutch) [key]


From the Latin Iacobus, which was from the Greek 螜伪魏蠅尾慰蟼 (Iakobos), which was from the Hebrew name 讬址注植拽止讘 (Ya'aqov). In the Old Testament, Jacob (later called Israel) was the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel, and his name is explained as meaning "holder of the heel" or "supplanter". Other theories claim that it is in fact derived from a hypothetical name like 讬址注植拽止讘职讗值诇 (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "may God protect".





The English names Jacob and James derive from the same source, with James coming from Latin Iacomus, a later variant of Iacobus. Unlike English, many languages do not have separate spellings for the two names.





In England, Jacob was mainly regarded as a Jewish name during the Middle Ages, though the variant James was used among Christians. Jacob came into general use as a Christian name after the Protestant Reformation. A famous bearer was Jacob Grimm (1785-1863), the German linguist and writer who was, with his brother Wilhelm, the author of 'Grimm's Fairy Tales'.











EDWARD





Gender: Masculine





Usage: English, Polish





Pronounced: ED-w蓹rd (English), ED-vahrt (Polish) [key]


Means "rich guard", derived from the Old English elements ead "rich, blessed" and weard "guard". Saint Edward the Confessor was the king of England shortly before the Norman conquest. He was known as a just ruler, and because of his popularity this name remained in use after the conquest when most other Old English names were replaced by Norman ones. The 13th-century king Henry III named his son and successor after the saint, and seven subsequent kings of England were also named Edward. This is one of the few Old English names to be used throughout Europe (in various spellings).
