Declension

edit
    Declension of Jesús
singular
indefinite
nominative Jesús
accusative Jesú, Jesúm
dative Jesú
genitive Jesú
vocative Jesú

Note: this declension, highly irregular and unique in Icelandic, is taken directly from the Latin declension (see the Latin entry Iēsus). Originally, the accusative was always Jesúm, but in recent times it is more commonly Jesú, under influence from the other case forms. Also note the distinct vocative form, Jesú, whereas for other Icelandic words the nominative form is normally used in vocative constructions.

Spanish

Etymology

edit

From Latin Iēsus, from Ancient Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs), from Hebrew ישוע (yēšūaʿ). The peculiar use of Jesús as a given name, unusual in most other traditionally Christian societies, has been ascribed to Arabic influence, in the sense that Christians during the Arab reign in Muslim Spain were influenced by the Muslim use of مُحَمَّد (muḥammad, Muhammad). Cognate with Sicilian Gisuzzu.
