Izaac
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Izaac: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2019.
A variant of Isaac, Izaac draws from the Hebrew name Yitzchak, meaning "he will laugh" or "laughter," a reference to the biblical story of Sarah’s joyful disbelief at her late-in-life pregnancy. Among famous bearers, Izaac Withers made history as one of the *Mayflower* Pilgrims, though his name is often recorded as Isaac, while the spelling Izaac has been linked to Australian musician Izaac Chester. The biblical Isaac lends his name to the town of Isaac, Newfoundland, and shares roots with many Middle Eastern place names. The variant Izaac offers a distinct yet familiar twist on a classic name, and notably, Scottish records show it has seen sporadic use since the 1970s, never rising above modest popularity.
