What is the meaning of the name Issac ?

The baby name Issac is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈaɪzək/ (EYE-zək),/ˈɪsæk/ (ISS-ack).

Issac is Hebrew in Origin.

Issac is a modern variant spelling of Isaac, from Hebrew Yitzḥāq, meaning “he will laugh” or “he laughs.” The name enters European languages through the Greek Septuagint (Isaak) and Latin (Isaac), then into English. In the Hebrew Bible, Isaac is the son of Abraham and Sarah, named for the laughter surrounding his birth, giving the name associations with joy and promise. Issac typically shares the same pronunciation as Isaac in English, though some speakers articulate it as ISS-ack.

While Isaac has been steadily popular across centuries in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities (cf. Arabic Ishaq), Issac appears intermittently in English records from the 17th century and today surfaces in the Americas, Africa, and parts of Asia as an accepted spelling. Related forms include Isaac, Isaak, Isak, Izaak, Ishaq, Yitzhak/Itzhak; diminutives include Ike and Izzy.
