Esaiah is Hebrew in Origin.

Esaiah is a modern English variant of Isaiah, likely shaped by the Greek-Latin biblical form Esaias. All trace back to Hebrew Yesha‘yahu, combining yashaʿ “to save” with the theophoric element Yah(u), yielding the meaning “Yahweh is salvation” or “the Lord saves.” The initial E reflects older transliterations found in the Septuagint and in some English Bible renderings, while the -aiah ending preserves the familiar Isaiah cadence.

In use, Esaiah appears in contemporary U.S. records from the late 20th century onward, part of the broader trend toward inventive yet scripture-rooted spellings. The name shares the legacy of the prophet Isaiah, associated with vision, eloquence, and hope. Close variants include Isaiah, Isiah, Esaias, Isaias (Spanish/Portuguese), Isaías (Spanish), and Isaia (Italian). Short forms such as Zay and Sai work well, and the meaning remains constant across spellings: divine salvation and deliverance.
