Cf. Zabielãvičius, Zabieliaũskas, Zabiẽlius, Zabiẽlskas, Zãbilas, Zabilãvičius, Zobė́la, Zobeliauskas, Zobė̃lius, Zóbiela, Zobiẽlius (see). Surnames of this group also include surn. with zabel- (see Zabelãvičius). All these surn. chandeliers with polish Zabielski (SSNO VI 246), bRuss. 3абела, 3абелiн, 3абельскi, Ukr. 3абела ¹, Russian. 3абела, 3абелин, 3абелкин, 3абеллo, 3абелoв, 3абельский (CAМC II 505-506). BRuss. surnames with zabel- tried to derive them from bRuss. забела „grietinė“, cf. UK забiл „idem“ ². But often these surn. may also be from the baptismal name Izabèlė.
