Ísak is a given name of Hebrew origin, meaning "he will laugh" or "God will laugh." It is the Icelandic, Faroese, and Norwegian form of the biblical name Isaac. The name has a long history of use in Scandinavian countries.

In Iceland, Ísak is a moderately common male given name. It is often associated with the biblical patriarch Isaac, a significant figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The pronunciation in Icelandic is roughly EE-sak.

In Norway and the Faroe Islands, the name Ísak also appears, though it may be less prevalent than in Iceland. The spelling and pronunciation remain consistent with the Icelandic usage.
