Meaning and origin of Izan
Many Pakistani and Indian Muslim parents explain Izan as a form of the Arabic idhʿān, meaning to comply and obey willingly. Urdu pronounces the Arabic 'dh' as a 'z', which gives the name its sound. It is a recent choice and is easily confused with Azaan, the call to prayer, which is a different word. A Spanish name spelled exactly the same way is also popular in Spain, but it has nothing to do with this one.
