Isaac
The name Isaac is a prominent name in the Holy Bible. This Hebrew name is derived from ‘yitzhaq’, a Hebrew word that means ‘one has laughed’ or ‘one has rejoiced’. So, the meaning of Isaac is ‘laughter’. In the Bible, Isaac was the son of Abraham and Sarah. God once instructed Abraham to offer his loving son, Isaac, as a sacrifice. Though Abraham was hesitant initially, he proceeded with the demand. As Isaac was about to be sacrificed, one of God’s angels appeared and stopped Abraham, after acknowledging his dedication to God. Instead, Abraham then sacrificed a ram. Isaac is one of the three patriarchs of the Israelites, the other two being Isaac’s father Abraham and Isaac’s son Jacob. Apart from Isaac in the Bible, the most well known Isaac is Sir Isaac Newton, who is known for his remarkable contributions to physics and mathematics, such as his discovery of gravity.
