Yitzhak, of Hebrew origin, is an ancient and historically significant given name meaning 'He will laugh' or 'God shall laugh.' It was borne by several notable figures throughout Jewish history, most famously King Isaac (Yitzhak) of the Tribe of Zebulun in the Bible.
The name Yitzhak saw a significant rise in popularity from the late 1980s to the mid-2010s, peaking with 16 births in 2019 and again at 12 births each in 2015 and 2016. However, it has since seen a decline, with only 9 births recorded in 2023.
