Ysee

This short and sweet French name is rising rapidly in its native country. Ysée is the most popular spelling, but variants include Isée, Isé and Ysé — the latter two are technically unisex, but only girls are receiving the name today.

There are two separate etymologies for the name. It is one form of the French name for Isaeus, one of the ten great Attic orators, who lived in the 5th-4th centuries BCE. It is also a possible variant form or diminutive of Iseult/Yseult.

Pronounced ee-ZAY.
