📜 History of National Isaac Day

Isaac was a reasonably common name in the early 1900s, but it fell out of favor. It wasn’t until the 1990s that it returned to the ‘Top 100’ list of baby boy names, where it has remained ever since. The names ‘Isaak’ and ‘Izaak’ are common variations. If you know somebody named Ike, Ikey, or Ise, chances are their real name is Isaac as well.

In terms of historical figures, there have been many Isaacs who have made significant contributions to literature, art, science, and music. It would be negligent of us not to start with Sir Isaac Newton, the physicist who developed one of nature’s most immutable laws: gravity. During the same time period, his contemporary, Isaac Watts, was writing some of the finest hymns that still ring out throughout the world, “Joy to the World” being right up there. A few decades later, in the mid-1900s, Isaac Asimov, a Russian-born American biochemist-turned-author, wanted to shake up the literary canon by creating science fiction and ushering in a revolutionary new genre. He is currently recognized as one of science fiction’s “Big Three.” If the TV show “I-Robot” sounds familiar, it’s because he wrote the book series. These are only a few Isaacs that piqued our interest, so use them as a jumping-off point for your own extensive research.
