History & Origin

Izayah is a modern respelling of Isaiah, which comes from Hebrew Yeshayahu, 'the Lord is salvation.' Isaiah is one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible, and the book bearing his name is among the most quoted in both Jewish and Christian tradition. Respellings with Iz- and -ayah became common in American naming in recent decades. Isaiah and its variants are overwhelmingly boys' names, and this spelling is no exception - used here for a girl, which we flag plainly (said 'eye-ZAY-uh').

For girls it appears only in very small numbers, against far heavier boys' use. Rare here, and cross-sex.

Did you know? Isaiah is one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible, and his name means 'the Lord is salvation' - Izayah is a modern respelling of it, and it is used far more often for boys.
