An uncommon Hebrew pick — distinctive and rare.
Jashua is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a phonetic respelling of Joshua, from the Hebrew Yehoshua, meaning 'God is salvation.' With over 1,700 births recorded in the U.S., Jashua reflects parents' desire to personalize a deeply familiar biblical name while preserving its sound and spiritual heritage. It shares its roots with Jesus, both derived from the same ancient Hebrew source.
Jashua was #2613 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #9345, but its charm endures.
