The story behind the name

Meet Isaiah.

Isaiah comes from Hebrew Yesha'yahu and means salvation of the Lord. Its biblical association is the prophet Isaiah and the Old Testament book that bears his name.

The common English pronunciation has three syllables, with the stress in the middle. Parents comparing Isaiah with Isaac or Elijah may be drawn to the shared biblical history while preferring Isaiah's particular rhythm and meaning.
