Meaning & Story
A playful diminutive of Isabel or Isadora, meaning 'devoted to God' — sweet, bouncy, and full of affection.
Issy is the kind of name that comes with a wagging tail built right in. It's soft, approachable, and impossible to say without smiling. A classic nickname-style name for female dogs, Issy suits a terrier who zooms around the living room, a spaniel who greets every guest like a long-lost friend, or a cat who trills and bumps her head against your hand. She's all heart, all the time.
