Historical Context
The name goes back to the Hebrew prophet whose name is often rendered in English as Isaiah. The Hebrew root יְשַׁעְיָהוּ (Yeshayahu) combines elements meaning deliverance and the divine name. Over centuries the name passed into Greek and Latin, then into English as Isaiah, and became a staple biblical name across Christian and Jewish traditions.

Where the exact spelling came from is not always recorded, but it follows an understandable pattern of phonetic respellings that keep the original sound but change the letter sequence.
