Meaning & Origin
Jesus
Yeshua is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, the original Aramaic-Hebrew form of the name Jesus, from the Hebrew Yehoshua meaning "God saves" or "the Lord is salvation." It is the actual name used by Jesus of Nazareth in his own time and language.
Yeshua has grown in American usage, particularly within Messianic Jewish and evangelical Christian communities, as a way of honoring the historical and Hebrew roots of the name Jesus. Using Yeshua is a statement of cultural and historical connection to the ancient Hebrew world.
