Jeshua, of Hebrew origin, is a name derived from Yehoshua, which means 'God is salvation.' It was borne by several figures in the Bible, including Joshua, who succeeded Moses as the leader of the Israelites and led them into the Promised Land. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ's original name was Yeshua or Jeshua. This name has been popular among various cultures throughout history, often translated or adapted to fit local languages.
"Jeshua is quite rare, with only five babies named so between 2001 and now."
