Yitzak

Yitzhak is a Hebrew given name. It is the Hebrew form of the name Isaac, which appears in the Hebrew Bible. The name Isaac is traditionally interpreted as meaning "he will laugh" or "laughter." In the biblical narrative, Isaac's birth is foretold by God to Abraham and Sarah, who are both elderly, and Sarah laughs in disbelief. Later, when the baby is born, Sarah says, "God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears will laugh with me."

The name Yitzhak is common among Jewish people. Famous historical figures bearing the name include Yitzhak Rabin, the fifth Prime Minister of Israel, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 for his role in the Oslo Accords. Another notable Yitzhak is Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, the second President of Israel. In contemporary times, the name remains popular in Israel and within Jewish communities worldwide. Variants of the name exist in different languages and cultures, often derived from its biblical origin. The spiritual significance of the name is tied to the patriarch Isaac, a central figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
