ArchivesSomething interesting about the name Isa
In Dhivehi, Isa (spelled that way and pronounced Eee-sa) means Jesus. Just thought that was interesting.

I don't know about Dvivehi, but Isa is certainly the Turkish and generally Muslim variant of Jesus.
Confirmed by those fairly accurate sites:

[A Muslim variant of Jesus might look like a contradiction, but actually Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet, though they consider him a minor one]
