Etymology
Issachar likely comes from Hebrew parts ish 'man' and sakar 'hire' or from a phrase meaning 'there is a reward', so the name can be read as 'the hired man' or 'the reward'. So you can remember Issachar as a son and tribe linked to work or a special reward, which helps explain the name in the Bible.
