Comments (Meaning / History Only)

Yehoshua (יהושע) is a compound consisting of the prefix -Yeho (יהו), referring to the God of Israel, and the name Hoshea (הושע), referring to salvation, meaning “Yehovah is salvation”. Yeshua (ישוע) is the shortened form of this name, and it showcases a Hebraic quality which is not so evident in the anglicized name Jesus.
Beautiful, stately name! The most ancient form of the Name we now pronounce as Jesus, is this Hebrew name, Yehoshua, shortened by the time of Christ to Yeshua.
