She is depicted as a controversial figure, known for replacing Yahwism with Baal and Asherah worship and for her involvement in the death of Naboth. The name Jezebel is derived from the Hebrew אִיזֶבֶל‎ ʾIzeḇel, and its original meaning is debated, with interpretations ranging from "Where is the Lord?" to a feminine Punic name.
