Izsak

Izsák, commonly written with a diacritic in Hungarian and often anglicized as Izsak, is a Hungarian name that may refer to a locality or to a family name. In Hungarian, Izsák also serves as the given name equivalent to Isaac. The form is used in various contexts within Hungarian-speaking communities.

The given name Izsák derives from the Hebrew Yitzhak (Isaac), traditionally interpreted as meaning "he will laugh" or "laughter." The Hungarian form Izsák is standard, while non-Hungarian texts may render it as Izsak or Isaac.

Izsák is a town in Bács-Kiskun County in the Southern Great Plain region of Hungary. It functions as an independent municipality and is one of many settlements in the county. The town’s name is the same as the Hungarian given name and surname, reflecting common naming practices in the region.

As a surname, Izsák occurs among people of Hungarian descent and in communities with Hungarian heritage. In non-Hungarian contexts, the name is often written without diacritics as Izsak, which can affect search and indexing in international records.
