History & Origin
Izzac is a modern respelling of Isaac, the biblical patriarch's name from the Hebrew Yitzhak, 'he laughs.' The reworked spelling rode Isaac's strong 2000s revival, adding a bit of edge to a deeply traditional name.
It was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its peak around 2012, far behind Isaac itself. A boy named Izzac then is barely a teenager now.
