What is the meaning of the name Izzy ?

The baby name Izzy is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IZ-ee (IPA: /ˈɪzi/).

Izzy is in Origin.

Izzy is a lively unisex diminutive used in English for several names beginning with Is-/Iz-. It most commonly shortens Isabella/Isabel (ultimately from Hebrew Elisheva via Elizabeth), as well as Isaac, Isaiah, Isidore/Isidora, and Israel. Meanings therefore range from “pledged to God” (Elizabeth/Isabella) and “laughter” (Isaac) to “Yahweh is salvation” (Isaiah), “gift of Isis” (Isidore), and “one who wrestles with God” (Israel).

Documented as a familiar nickname in Britain and the United States by the 18th–19th centuries, Izzy has increasingly stood on its own since the late 20th century, remaining breezy and modern. It skews female in recent UK and Australian data yet keeps cross‑gender currency when linked to Isaac, Isaiah, or Israel. Common variants include Izzie, Izzi, Issy, and Izy. A flexible choice that carries sacred, joyful, or classical overtones depending on its root.
