YAHUSHUA
English edit
Etymology edit
From Biblical Hebrew יָהוּשׁוּעַ (jaˈhuːʃū́aʿ, “YAH saves”), the fully uncensored form of יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (yəhōšúaʿ, “Yehoshua or Joshua”), often contracted to יֵשׁוּעַ (yēšū́aʿ, “Yeshua”) to avoid saying the Sacred Name יָה (jaˈh, “YAH”) . The Ancient Greek translation of the New Testament uses the Hellenized form Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs, "Iesous"), which is commonly transcribed to English as Jesus.
Proper noun edit
YAHUSHUA (of male given name)
- The Messiah and Son of God according to the New Testament; the real, Hebrew, original given name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
