Isaiah is Hebrew in Origin.
Isaiah derives from the Hebrew Yĕsha‘yāhu (יְשַׁעְיָהוּ), a theophoric name meaning “Yahweh is salvation” or “the Lord is salvation.” It belongs to the 8th‑century BCE prophet whose oracles form the Book of Isaiah, giving the name profound religious resonance across Judaism and Christianity. English pronunciation is eye-ZAY-uh.
Through the Septuagint and Vulgate the name appeared as Greek Esaias and Latin Isaias, yielding medieval English Esay/Esaias before the Reformation standardized Isaiah in Protestant lands. Cognates include French Isaïe, Spanish and Portuguese Isaías, Italian Isaia, German and Dutch Jesaja, and Slavic Isaija/Isaiya. Modern spellings used in English include Isiah and Izaiah. Common nicknames are Zay, Izzy, and Sai. The name has seen steady use among Puritans and revivalist communities, and it surged in wider Anglophone popularity from the late 20th century, especially in the United States.
