Izzie is in Origin.

Izzie is an English hypocoristic, an affectionate diminutive formed with the -ie ending, used for a range of Is-/Iz- names. Most commonly it shortens Isabella/Isabelle/Isabel/Isobel (ultimately from Hebrew Elisheva), but it also serves for Isadora/Isidora, Isidore/Isadore, and sometimes Isaac, Israel, or Isaiah, making it comfortably unisex. Variant spellings include Izzy, Issy, Issie, Izzey, and the clipped forms Izz or Iz.

Attested in British and American records since the late 19th century as a nickname, Izzie began to appear as a standalone given name in the late 20th century and has risen across the UK, US, Australia, and New Zealand. Contemporary visibility was boosted by TV's Dr. Izzie Stevens (Grey's Anatomy) and other pop-cultural Izzy/Izzie figures. The name's meaning depends on its source: from Isabel/Elizabeth, "God is my oath"; from Isidore, "gift of Isis"; from Isaac, "he will laugh"; from Israel, "God contends."
