The word "Jessabell" is spelled with a "j" instead of a "g" as in the traditional spelling of the name "Jezebel." The correct pronunciation is /ˈdʒɛsəbɛl/ with the stress on the second syllable. The "e" in the first syllable is pronounced like the short "e" sound in "red" and the "a" in the second syllable is pronounced like the "a" in "at." This alternative spelling of the name may have originated as a unique variation or as a deliberate choice to avoid the negative connotations associated with the original name.
