Meaning & Story
An Arabic and Hebrew name meaning 'God is my salvation' or 'God saves' — a form of the name Jesus/Joshua. Issa is used widely across Muslim-majority cultures as the Arabic form of Jesus.
Issa is a name with profound spiritual meaning and a beautiful, simple sound. It flows quietly off the tongue and has a gentle, luminous quality that suits a calm, soulful pet. She is probably the animal in the house who has a stillness about her — the cat who creates peace simply by being present, or the dog whose gentleness reminds you to slow down. Issa is for the pet who seems to carry something holy.
