Esaia is Hebrew in Origin.
Esaia is a rare given name deriving from the Hebrew Yeshayahu, "Yahweh is salvation." Through Greek Esaias and Latin Isaias, this root produced multiple forms; Esaia likely reflects a streamlined blend of Esaias and the Italian Isaia, and it appears as an occasional modern variant in English-speaking and Nordic contexts.
Borne by the 8th century BCE prophet Isaiah, the name has deep Judeo-Christian resonance and periodic revivals in Europe and North America; while Isaiah has surged in popularity since the 1990s, Esaia remains uncommon yet easily understood. Close variants include Isaiah (English), Isaias/Isaías (Spanish, Portuguese), Isaia (Italian), Esaias (Scandinavian, archaic English), and Esaiah/Isiah in modern spellings; related continental forms include Jesaja (German/Swedish), Izajasz (Polish), and Isaiáš (Czech). Nicknames and short forms such as Esa, Sai, and Zay are used. The core meaning emphasizes divine deliverance.
