Izma is a modern, cross‑cultural given name most commonly used for girls.

In Spanish‑speaking contexts, Izma can be a stylized spelling of Isma, the familiar short form of Ismael/Ismail, yielding the biblical meaning “God will hear.” Some also view Izma as a sleek twist on Esma/Asma, names widespread in Turkey and the Balkans.

Documented usage is sparse before the late twentieth century; it has grown with contemporary taste for concise, z‑bearing names and global blends. Variants and related forms include Uzma, Esma/Asma, Isma, and the masculine Ismael/Ismail; nicknames such as Izzy or Iza are used in English. Pronunciation typically follows IZ-ma. Overall, Izma carries resonances of eminence, divine attentiveness, and modern elegance.
