Meaning and background
The story behind Izzie
Izzie has an exact-spelling television association with Izzie Stevens in Grey's Anatomy. ABC's official retrospective on the show's weddings recalls her marriage to Alex Karev and the ceremony originally planned for Meredith and Derek. That makes the spelling recognizable to viewers through a particular character and storyline. Someone choosing it for a dog can draw on that connection, while the episode material itself supplies no evidence for a traditional name meaning.
