My paternal great grandmother was Maria Ysabel Caballero, baptised 16Dec1860 in Totatiche, Jalisco.  Daughter of Tranquilino Caballero y Maria Juliana de la Trinidad Avila

I have now found another child of Tranquilino Caballero y Trinidad D'abila, baptised on 01Mar1864 in Tlaltenango de Sanchez Ramon, Zacatecas.

This record indicates Ysabel was a male child.  Was this name actually used for both sexes?  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
