Issey

The name Issey is quite unique and has a few possible origins. The meaning of Issey is 'first-born' in Japanese, so Japanese people can only name their first-born child Issey! In this language, the name is considered to be gender neutral which means that both boys and girls can be given the name Issey. St. Issey is also a small village in Cornwall, England, and is named after Saint Yse. Here, Issey means 'the church on the tumulus'. Issey also has Germanic roots, being a derivation of Isolde/Iseult, which means 'ice ruler' in the old language, as well as Hebrew roots, being a derivative of the name 'Yisrael', which means 'he who struggles for God' or 'God's promise'. The name continues to be bigender-neutral in all other languages. Many people also see Issey as an alternative spelling of Issy/Izzy (which is the short form of Isabel/Isobel), hence it can serve as a nickname as well.
