The English name Isaac is translated as Isaque in Portuguese.

Isaque is a masculine given name.

Meaning: male given name (name)

How do you pronounce it?

The name has three syllables, with the stress on the second syllable: /iˈza.ki/.

Because the name is heavily tied to the Bible, some Portuguese speakers may use it as a symbol of being a 'child of a promise' when discussing the person's character.
While Isaque is the standard Portuguese spelling, many Brazilian parents choose the English spelling Isaac to give the name a 'cosmopolitan' or 'globalized' feel for their children.
In some Portuguese-speaking regions, particularly in parts of Africa, the pronunciation of names of biblical origin may follow local phonetic rules that differ from the European Portuguese standard.

Então Abraão olhou diretamente para trás e viu um carneiro entre as silvas, preso pelos chifres, e ergueu o carneiro até ao altar e abateu-o ali como sacrifício a Deus em vez do seu filho Isaque.
Then Abraham looked immediately behind and saw a ram between the brambles, caught by the horns, and he lifted up the ram to the offering, and he slaughtered it there as a sacrifice to God instead of his son Isaac.
This sentence shows the use of Isaque in a biblical context regarding the story of Abraham.
