Meaning & origin
Izac is a modern spelling variant of the ancient name Isaac. The name first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1989 and reached its peak rank of #9714 in 2002, the same year it began a gradual decline. By 2025, the name was given to roughly 1 in every 244,011 boys. The Izac form remains a less common alternative to the traditional Isaac, with no single state showing strong concentration. Its biblical resonance gives it a familiar yet distinct feel.
Izac is a variant spelling of Isaac, which derives from the Hebrew name Yitzchaq, meaning 'he will laugh' or 'God will laugh.' In the Old Testament, Isaac is the son of Abraham and Sarah. The spelling Izac is a modern Anglicized form, particularly used in English-speaking countries.
