Isa is a unisex given name originating from a variety of sources.
The name is most commonly derived from the Arabic عيسى ‘Isa, an Arabic translation of Jesus, itself having a Hebrew origin. However, it is not the only translation; it is most commonly associated with Jesus as depicted in Islam, and thus, commonly used by Muslims. Meanwhile, Arabic-speaking Christians would use يسوع Yasū‘, a more phonetic translation of Jesus. The origin of the Quranic Isa is complex and is detailed below. In this context, Isa is taken to be a masculine name.
Isa can also be used as a shortened form of Isabel and its derivatives, all of them deriving from the Hebrew name Elisheba. In this case, the name is feminine.
