What’s in a Name? The Meaning of Isobaa

The name Isobaa often raises a few eyebrows — and a few smiles. It's a small word with a bit of a backstory, and like many things we appreciate most, it didn’t happen by accident.

So... why “Isobaa”?

The inspiration came from the word isobar — a term used in meteorology to describe lines on a weather map that link places with equal atmospheric pressure. It’s the kind of thing that hints at open skies, shifting weather, and a world beyond four walls.

Now, swap the “-bar” for “-baa” (as in the sound a sheep makes) and you’ve got Isobaa.
It’s a quiet pun, but it works on a few levels:

• It keeps a subtle link to the outdoors and natural elements
• It nods directly to the Merino sheep behind the materials
• And it doesn’t take itself too seriously

In a sense, the name says a lot with very little. It reflects a brand that sits somewhere between technical and playful, between natural materials and thoughtful design.

Just the basics then

• Isobar = A weather term
• Baa = The sound of a sheep
• Isobaa = A small word that brings the two together

That’s it. Nothing overblown, no grand origin myth. Just a little play on words that reflects a few things we care about: weather, nature, and sheep.
