Isolde's etymology

Has the name Essyllt, Esyllt (Isolde) a Celtic etymology? I found in some sites the Proto-Celtic etymnology *Adsiltia.
But I'm thinking an alternative view. Since Isolde was seen as an Irish princess, but probably with Norse blood, I prefer to see her names as from Áshildr or Íshildr. Any comments?
