Strong, iron-like; or a variant of Isaac
Izen is a rare name with multiple possible paths. It is often considered a modern variant of the Hebrew name Isaac, meaning 'laughter', or linked to the Germanic root 'isarn' meaning 'iron'. In some contexts, it is also viewed as a phonetic variation of the Basque name Izan, which means 'to be'.
