Jashua is of Hebrew origin, derived from the name Joshua, which means 'God is salvation'. It's pronounced as /'dʒæʃuə/. This unique and modern variant offers a distinctive twist on the classic name, while still maintaining its biblical roots and historic significance.
The name Jashua had a significant peak in popularity during the late 1980s to early 1990s, with over 70 births per year between 1985 and 1994. However, since then, its usage has steadily declined, with fewer than 20 births per year from 2003 onwards, and consistently low numbers in recent years, reaching a new low of 6 births in both 2019 and 2020. Overall, there were 1697 babies named Jashua between 1971 and 2023.
