What is the meaning of the name Izaak ?

The baby name Izaak is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EYE-zək (/ˈaɪzək/),ee-ZAHK (/iˈzɑːk/).

Izaak is Hebrew in Origin.

Izaak is a Dutch and Polish form of the biblical name Isaac, from Hebrew Yitzḥaq/Yitzchak, “he will laugh” or “he laughs,” a reference to Abraham and Sarah’s joy at their long‑awaited son. The spelling reflects Northern and Central European orthography and appears widely in Jewish communities’ records as well as in Dutch and Polish usage. The name carries connotations of joy, promise, and a blessing fulfilled.

Usage spans the Middle Ages to modern times in the Low Countries and Poland, with occasional English adoption - most famously by Izaak Walton, author of The Compleat Angler. Another notable bearer is Dutch‑American chemist Izaak M. Kolthoff. Related forms include Isaac (English, French, Spanish), Isaak (German, Russian), Isaäk/Izaak and Izak (Dutch, Afrikaans), Isak (Scandinavian), Isacco (Italian), and Hebrew Yitzhak/Yitzchak; Yiddish diminutive Itzik is common. English nicknames include Ike and Izzy.
