L'Isère /i'zɛʀ/ è un dipartimento francese della regione Alvernia-Rodano-Alpi. Il nome del dipartimento deriva dal nome del fiume omonimo che scorre nel suo territorio. L'etimologia del nome deriva dal celtico Isar, che significa "ferro", minerale che doveva essere presente in grande quantità durante l'epoca protostorica. Per diversi linguisti (citati nell'opera di Francisco Villar Gli Indoeuropei e le origini dell'Europa, ed. il Mulino, 1997) gli idronimi con radice is, diffusi soprattutto nell'Europa meridionale e occidentale, risalirebbero alla lingua dei primi Indoeuropei giunti come conquistatori.
