Isayah is Hebrew in Origin.
Isayah is a modern Anglophone respelling of Isaiah, the English form of Hebrew Yeshayahu (Yesha‘yahu), meaning “Yahweh is salvation” or “the Lord saves.” Pronounced i-ZAY-uh, it preserves the familiar sound while offering a distinctive look, with the -yah ending visually highlighting the divine name element. The biblical Prophet Isaiah, an 8th-century BCE figure central to the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament, anchored the name’s transmission through Greek Esaias and Latin Isaias into English. It rose in English-speaking usage via Puritan naming and has been widely popular in the U.S. since the late 20th century.
Variants and cognates include Isaiah, Isiah, Isaya, Isaia (Italian), Isaías (Spanish/Portuguese), Ésaïe (French), Esaias (Scandinavian/archaic English), and Jesaja (German/Dutch). Nicknames such as Izzy, Zay, and Sai are common. Isayah suits parents seeking a scriptural classic with a contemporary, personalized spelling.
