Itzhac
Itzhac Origin and Meaning
Itzhac is a masculine name representing a variation of Isaac (or Yitzhak in Hebrew), derived from the Hebrew word meaning 'he will laugh' or 'he will rejoice.' This spelling reflects Sephardic Jewish traditions and pronunciations, particularly from Spanish, Portuguese, and Middle Eastern Jewish communities. The Biblical Isaac was the son of Abraham and Sarah, making this name rich with religious significance in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The spelling variant Itzhac preserves closer phonetic ties to the original Hebrew pronunciation than the more common English Isaac. While less frequent than other variants, Itzhac provides cultural authenticity for families honoring Sephardic heritage or seeking a distinctive form of this ancient name.
