Yeshua

Aramaic for Joshua

Yeshua is the Hebrew name from which Jesus derives, meaning "he saves" or "salvation." Some Christians prefer it to emphasize Jesus's Jewish identity and the original form of his name: Yeshua was a first-century Jewish teacher.

The name appears in discussions of biblical scholarship and among Messianic Jewish communities.
