What's in a name?
Many people know that Isaac’s name is from the Bible, but did you know that his name means, “he laughs?*” Okay, so some of you knew that . . . But do you know why he was named this? Here’s the answer from Genesis 21:6-7:
Sarah (Isaac’s mother) said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham (Isaac’s father) that Sarah would nurse children? (She was almost 100 years old, past child-bearing years.) Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
(New International Version)
Certainly, Isaac Hanson wears his name well. Whether you’ve read that he is goofy or wacky or loony, I’m sure there has been a time when his craziness has put a smile on your face.
* I live in Israel (talk Hebrew), and like [that] you wrote Isaac's name means "he laughs," it's most likely to say Isaac mean "he will laugh." -- Gil
