Does anybody know what the meaning of the name Ajzyk is and/or what names it is related to? This would be the name of an Eastern European (likely Polish) male.

It's a form of Issac. Although the Polish form of Isaac is Izaak the form Ajzyk is also known. I don't know how much usage it gets now but in the bast it was mainly used by Jews.

Example of usage from Polish language wiki:

http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajzyk_Rotman

Just like you would pronounce Isaac in English(This is the first time a Polish pronunciation has ever been so easily explained on my part!) The form Izaak is pronounced EE-zahk.
