Other names for Yitzchak? #names
judith.cannon4@...
On my grandfather Louis Witkin's death certificate, his father's name is Yitzchak, but I can't find Yitzchak anywhere in the archives. Any suggestions for how that name may have been listed? |

The question is not clear.
If you are looking for names Yitzkhak might use in a country where English is not the language spoken, I have seen Icek, Izaak, Aizik and Itsko. If you are looking at English language possibilities, Isaac is the direct translation, but I have seen Isadore, Irving, Irwin, all of which begin with the same sound. Though I have never seen it, Zach is another sound-alike. Herbert Lazerow |

In addition to name variants, there were also pronunciation variants. My maternal GGF, Leizar Wolf ROSENBERG had a first and then second wife, both named Leah. By each wife, Leizer had a son named Itzaak (or Israel Itzaak). The family pronounced the name of the first one "Yitzaahk" and the second one "Itzik."

Yitzhak (יצחק) is also the common form for Isaac in Yiddish. Although, the tombstone of my grandfather Isadore says אייזיק בר יעקב Aizek bar Yakov, Isaac son of Jacob. The Aizek is another Yiddish name for Isaac. Bar is Aramaic for son of and Yakov is Hebrew and Yiddish for Jacob. When I was growing up, my other grandfather told me that my Jewish name was Yizhak Isaac. I thought he was translating Yitzhak into English. I realized much later that he was following a Jewish naming convention where Jewish names consisted of a Hebrew name followed by an equivalent Yiddish name. My father's Jewish name was Ariah Leib where Ariah is Hebrew for lion and Leib is Yiddish for lion.

My grandfather was born in Warsaw in 1896 and his name was registered as ICCOK ANGIELCZYK
His Hebrew name was יצחק |

I assume your middle initial is related to יצחק . What does the I stand for. My middle name is Irwin. I would have preferred Ivan or Isaac, but nobody asked me.

Amelia,
Your last name is interesting to me. My name Malakoff/Malakhov (Малакхов) comes from the Hebrew maloch (מלאך) which means angel. Maybe we are
related :). Alternative version of the name was Malachowsky which sounds more Polish. Bob Malakoff
