Izayah
Izayah is a variant spelling of the Hebrew name Isaiah, which is derived from the combination of the elements 'Yah' (a shortened form of the Hebrew name for God, Yahweh) and 'yasha' meaning 'to save' or 'salvation.'
The name Isaiah has biblical origins, as it was the name of a prominent prophet in the Old Testament who lived during the 8th century BCE. His prophetic writings are contained in the Book of Isaiah in the Bible, which is known for its poetic language and messianic prophecies.
The name Izayah, with its unique spelling, is a modern variation of Isaiah that gained popularity in the late 20th century. While the meaning remains the same as the traditional spelling, Izayah is often chosen for its distinct and stylish appearance.
Despite its biblical roots, the name Izayah is not exclusively used in a religious context and has become a popular choice among parents seeking a name with a meaningful origin and a fresh, contemporary look.
