What is the meaning of the name Izaac ?

The baby name Izaac is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EYE-zək (IPA: /ˈaɪzək/).

Izaac is Hebrew in Origin.

Izaac is a modern Anglicized variant of Isaac, ultimately from the Hebrew Yitzhak (Yitzhaq), meaning "he will laugh" or "he laughs." In the Bible, Isaac is the long-awaited son of Abraham and Sarah; his name reflects Sarah’s laughter at the news of his birth and came to symbolize joy and fulfillment. The Izaac spelling preserves the familiar sound while swapping the traditional s for z and echoing the Dutch/Polish form Izaak.

Through Late Latin Isaacus, the name spread across medieval Europe and stayed common in Jewish communities and, after the Reformation, among English Puritans. International forms include Isaac, Isaak (German, Russian), Izaak (Dutch, Polish), Isak (Scandinavian), Itzhak/Yitzhak (Hebrew), and Ishaq (Arabic). Nicknames include Ike, Izzy, and Zac/Zack. Izaac is a rare contemporary choice in English-speaking countries, offering a distinctive twist while retaining the gravitas of a timeless biblical classic.
