Another site says
English: Large fort,  French: Corpulent; fat.  Gaelic: Beloved

Issac: Hebrew He will laugh.  Variant of ISAAC.

Meaning & History
From the Hebrew name  (Yitzchaq) which meant "he laughs". Isaac in the Old Testament is the son of Abraham and the father of Esau and Jacob. As recounted in Genesis, God tested Abraham's faith by ordering him to sacrifice his son, though an angel prevented the act at the last moment.

Michael: Hebrew Who is like God?

Meaning & History
From the Hebrew name  (Mikha'el) meaning "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God. Saint Michael is one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies, and thus is considered the patron saint of soldiers.
