Aizik is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a Yiddish form of Isaac meaning 'he will laugh' or 'laughter,' from the Hebrew Yitzhak. Isaac was the son of Abraham and Sarah, whose name came from Sarah's laughter of disbelief when she heard she would bear a child in old age.
Aizik was the traditional Yiddish form of Isaac used in Ashkenazi Jewish communities for centuries. It carries the ancient biblical lineage of the patriarchs in a distinctively Eastern European Jewish form — a name with deep roots in the Yiddish-speaking world of the shtetl.
