Origin & history of Isaac1
Hebrew roots
Isaac comes from the Hebrew Yitzhak meaning he will laugh or laughter. In the Bible, Abraham and Sarah laughed in disbelief when told they would have a son in their old age — and so their son was named Isaac, the laughing one. It is one of the great patriarchal names of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, borne by the founding father of the Israelite nation. Sir Isaac Newton, who described gravity and transformed science, gave it extraordinary intellectual prestige. Isaac has climbed from the middle of the charts to the US top 40 in recent years, driven by a love of biblical names.
