Izsak
Izsak Origin and Meaning
Izsak is a masculine name representing the Hungarian and Slovak variant of Isaac, which derives from the Hebrew name Yitzchak, meaning 'he will laugh' or 'he will rejoice.' This biblical name references the laughter of Abraham and Sarah upon learning they would have a son in their old age. Izsak maintains the rich biblical heritage of Isaac while offering a distinctive Central European pronunciation and spelling. While less common internationally than Isaac, Izsak remains culturally significant in Hungary and Slovakia. The name combines historical depth with a unique cultural identity. The distinctive 'zs' consonant blend is characteristic of Hungarian phonology, giving the name a specific cultural marker while retaining its connection to the widely recognized biblical figure.
