Comments for the name Isaiah

Isaiah translated into Spanish is Isaías.

This name is wonderful and will be the name of my son! I love the name Isaiah because I sometimes read about the prophet Isaiah in the Bible.

In the UK, Isaiah is pronounced differently than it is in the US. It is "I-zai-ah" (Zai rhyming with Kai). :-D

'Gary Miller', 6 year old character on kids TV show 'Romeo'. His real name is Zachary ISAIAH Williams.

Isaiah is a great name for a boy. Masculine and strong, it is no wonder it is rising in popularity.

Famous bearer: Actor "Isaiah Washington"! He's "Burke" on the ABC tv-show "Grey's Anatomy".

Famous Bearer includes Isaiah Edwards, real life friend of the Ingalls Family.

His character was in the 'Little House' books, portrayed by Victor French in the famous '70's-'80's television series, and also in many miniseries and movies based off of the life of the Ingalls Family.

This name reminds me of Isaac, which is my favorite name. Isaiah has a nice sound too. These biblical names are all very nice.

Pronounced "ee-ZAH-ya".

I'm anything but happy about this name having become so common. It's a clear sign that not only are Americans religious nuts, but they also manifest their beliefs in the names of their children. It's not unheard of around the world (to do that, you know), especially in cultures we consider backward because of the influence of religion to everything that should be secular, but that doesn't make me feel any better about this annoying, über-Biblical name being popular.

Pronounced "ee-ZAH-ya" or "ie-ZIE-a".

I definitely pronounce this eye-ZYE-uh, not eye-ZAY-uh.

The New Testament form of Isaiah is Esaias.

The Greek form of Esaias is ησαιας.

Another of those names that just screams, "religious fundie alert," when I hear it inflicted on a future-cult-leader of a child. Yuck. Basically any of the -iah names really give me that impression any more. At least it isn't an -aden name, though, I'll give it that.

I love Isaiah, gorgeous boy. Gorgeous name. Wish more people has this name.

This is such a great name for a boy! It's cute yet strong, great name yet uncommon, nice for a child yet also an adult. It's one of my favorites!

I love this name and hope to name my future son that. Hope it doesn't become too common as I prefer more unusual names. Not sure if I agree with the pronunciation here though. Since English is not my first language I'd rather not pronounce the I in that way.

Although this name is very cool and unique and all, I just hate it because I know a dude named Isaiah and he is a total narcissist who thinks he knows everything and who thinks he is smarter than Einstein. He just absolutely ruined this name for me, but if you like the name, that's cool :)

I actually rather like this name, though it will never be parted from the boy who fought but was easily bested.

I came across "Aizeyah" the other day used as a girl's name. Why oh why are people so odd?

Isaiah is a really nice name with a cool yet easy pronunciation and sound. I find it religious yet classic at the same time.

Po-tay-toe, Po-tah-to. Does it really matter how it's pronounced? Even in the States it's pronounced differently according to region. I-Zay-yah is usually how it's pronounced in my neck of the woods. Ziah (Z-eye-yah) is how I've pronounced the nickname for my character.
