Name Meaning
English:
from the Middle English and Old French female personal name Iseld, Iseut, Isalt, Isaut, Isolde, Isoud, a French adaptation of Old Cornish Eselt ‘looked up to, admired’. Its currency in post-Conquest England derived from the legend of Tristan and Isolde, Cornish versions of which gained huge popularity in medieval Europe through romantic retellings by German, French, and Anglo-Norman writers.
from the Middle English female personal name Isot, itself a pet form of Iseld, Isold, names formerly but incorrectly identified as a hypothetical ancient Germanic Ishild(is), developing to Isheld, Ishaut, and Isholt. The surname Izzard shows post-medieval substitution of -ard in the final syllable of Middle English Iso(u)d (see 1 above) or Isot, influenced by the pattern of variation in names like Gillard , Gillett , and Gillott , or Garrard , Garrod , and Garrett , where in many instances the final -ard is original. Compare Ezzard , Isard , Isitt , Izard , and Izatt .
