The baby name Issi is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ISS-ee (/ˈɪsi/).
Issi is Egyptian in Origin.
Issi is a breezy, unisex diminutive used in many languages for names beginning with Is-/Ys-. It can abbreviate Hebrew Yitzhak/Isaac ("he will laugh"), Greek-Latin Isidoros/Isidore ("gift of Isis"), Spanish Isidro, and the medieval royal favorite Isabel/Isabella from Hebrew Elisheva ("God is my oath"). In English and Romance-speaking countries, the Issi/Issy/Izzy cluster has long served as an affectionate short form; in Jewish tradition, Isi appears in late antique sources (e.g., the sage Isi ben Judah), lending the nickname historical depth.
Variants and near-equivalents include Isi (Spanish, German), Issy/Issie (English), Izzy/Izzie (English), and Scandinavian Isse. Because it isn’t tied to one root, Issi reads international and contemporary while nodding to classic names such as Isidore, Isidora, Isabel, Isabella, Isolde, Isaac, and Isak. Note: in Finnish and Estonian, isi means "dad," a playful association that some families enjoy.
