About the name Jesus
Jesus is derived from the Hebrew name Yeshua, a short form of Yehoshua (Joshua), meaning ‘God saves’. The name reached English through the Greek ‘Iēsous’ and the Latin ‘Iesus’ used in early Christian texts. Jesus of Nazareth is the central figure in Christianity, and for that reason the name is rarely given in English-speaking countries. In Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, however, Jesús and Jesus are long-established given names for boys, and Jesús is also found in compound names such as José de Jesús.
