History & Origin

Isaias is the Spanish and Latin Vulgate form of Isaiah, from Hebrew Yeshayahu, combining yesha (salvation) and Yahu (Yahweh, God). Isaiah was the 8th-century BCE prophet whose book is the longest in the Hebrew prophetic canon.

Isaias is widely used in Spanish-speaking communities in Latin America and the United States. It is the form found in the Latin Vulgate Bible and in Spanish translations.

Did you know? Isaiah is quoted more often in the New Testament than any other Old Testament prophet — his vision of the suffering servant resonated so profoundly with early Christians that the Book of Isaiah was sometimes called the Fifth Gospel.
