Origin
Meaning and history of Izaiaz
The name Izaiaz is an uncommon variant of the Hebrew name Isaiah. It originates from the Biblical prophet Isaiah, who lived during the 8th century BCE in the ancient Kingdom of Judah. The original Hebrew name is Yesha'yahu, meaning "Yahweh is salvation" or "the Lord is salvation."
The Book of Isaiah is one of the major prophetic books in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. It contains the prophecies and teachings of the prophet Isaiah, who condemned the injustices and idolatry of his time while foretelling the coming of the Messiah and the future restoration of Israel.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Izaiaz was Izaiaz de Chateaufort, a French nobleman and crusader who participated in the Third Crusade (1189-1192) under King Richard I of England. He was born around 1165 and died sometime after 1200.
Another notable figure was Izaiaz ben Avraham, a Jewish scholar and philosopher who lived in Spain during the 12th century. He is known for his commentaries on the works of Maimonides and his contributions to the study of Jewish law and ethics.
In the 16th century, Izaiaz de la Hoz was a Spanish Converso (a Jewish convert to Christianity) who was persecuted during the Spanish Inquisition. He was born in Seville in 1525 and was eventually forced to flee to the Netherlands, where he lived out the rest of his life.
One of the most famous individuals with the name Izaiaz was Izaiaz Romero, a Spanish painter who lived in the 17th century. He was known for his religious paintings and his work can be found in several churches and museums in Spain. He was born in Seville in 1612 and died in Madrid in 1685.

FAQ
Izaiaz: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Izaiaz?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Izaiaz going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Izaiaz a common name?
We classify Izaiaz as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Izaiaz most popular?
The single biggest year for Izaiaz was 2010, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Izaiaz is about 16 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Izaiaz in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Izaiaz a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Izaiaz in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Izaiaz still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Izaiaz in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Izaiaz can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
