Ismeria herself was the mother of Elizabeth, and therefore grandmother of Saint John the Baptist.
The origins and meaning of the name itself are debated. Theories include a feminine variant of the Germanic name Ismar, a Picard corruption of some unidentified Arabic name, a corruption of Ismenia and a corruption of Arabic Isma and Asma.
