Where in the bible is this name used?

"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)

There is only one Iscah in the bible, a niece of Abraham. She is mentioned in Genesis 11,29. In Jewish tradition she was sometimes identified with Sarah.
Iscah seems to used as a given name in Israel.

My name book describes Isska as "very common" in Israel, although the only one I know is American. :)
