Yizhac
Yizhac Origin and Meaning
Yizhac is a masculine name that represents a transliteration variant of Isaac, derived from the Hebrew name Yitzchak (יִצְחָק), meaning "he will laugh" or "he will rejoice." This form of the name stays closer to the Hebrew pronunciation than the more common English version. Yizhac carries significant biblical heritage, referencing the son of Abraham and Sarah in the Old Testament. While relatively uncommon in mainstream Western usage, this spelling appears in some Jewish communities, particularly those emphasizing traditional Hebrew pronunciations. The name contains rich spiritual significance in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as Isaac is an important figure in all three traditions. Yizhac offers parents a way to honor Hebraic linguistic traditions while maintaining connection to this ancient biblical name.
