Jeshuah is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of Hebrew origin. Derived from the name Joshua, which means "God is salvation," Jeshuah shares a similar divine connotation. It is primarily used in the United States and other English-speaking countries, with its first recorded use dating back to the 19th century. Unlike Joshua, which has been popular throughout history and appears frequently in the Bible, Jeshuah is more unique and often associated with individuals seeking a name that stands out. The name can be pronounced as /ˈdʒɛsjuːæ/ or /ˈdʒɛʃwɑː/, depending on regional variations in pronunciation. It does not have any well-known historical figures or famous personalities attached to it, allowing those named Jeshuah the freedom to forge their own paths and identities without predefined expectations.
"Jeshuah saw a spike in popularity between 2009 and 2011, with 11 births in 2009 and consistently six births each year until 2011. However, the name's usage dipped significantly to just five births in 2007."
