Meaning & Origin
a male given name, equivalent to English Isaac
Izak is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant spelling of Isaac, derived from the Hebrew Yitzchak, meaning 'he will laugh' or 'laughter.' In the Book of Genesis, Isaac was the son of Abraham and Sarah, born in their old age — the name reflecting Sarah's laughter of disbelief and joy.
The Izak spelling appears in Central European countries, particularly in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. With nearly 1,800 recorded births, it offers a slightly unusual but immediately recognizable take on one of the oldest Hebrew names — carrying all the biblical weight of Isaac with a more distinctive visual character.
