Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Laughter; He will laugh

Yitzchak is a masculine name of Hebrew origin. As an alternative form of Isaac, it’s related to one of the three main patriarchs in the Hebrew Bible. Its meaning “he will laugh” or “laughter” comes from the story where Abraham and Sarah, who were past the age of childbearing, laugh in disbelief when God tells them they would soon be expecting. If you were in a similar boat and miraculously find yourself blessed with your little one, Yitzchak is the name for you. Moreover, it may even help reaffirm your family’s faith and trust in a higher power.
