Isa

Isa is a gender-neutral name with German and Arabic origins. In Germanic culture, Isa is often given to girls and means “strong-willed”. The name is often shortened from Isabel and Isadora. However, in times gone by, Isa has grown into a name of its own. In Arabic cultures, Isa derives from “Jesus” and is often given to boys within the Muslim faith. The name Isa remains a popular choice for those throughout Germany, Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the United Kingdom.
