Isayah
Meaning of Isayah
Isayah is a contemporary respelling of the venerable Hebrew name Isaiah, which literally signifies “Yahweh is salvation,” yet its softer –yah ending lends it a poetic lilt that might feel at home in a Persian ghazal. This orthographic tweak not only refreshes a time-honored meaning but also imbues the name with a rhythmic resonance—each syllable placing itself like a tile in a Shiraz mosaic. In the United States, Isayah consistently appears in the lower 900s of baby-name rankings, with about a dozen boys each year bearing the name—a statistical footnote as steady and understated as that dependable friend who never crashes the party but always leaves a subtle impression. Combining historical gravitas with modern individuality, Isayah offers families a balanced choice: familiar enough to honor tradition, yet distinctive enough to stand apart.
