"Yeshua" ישוע , a Hebrew name written with the letters yod-shin-vav-`ayin of the Hebrew alphabet. Yeshua (Hebrew: יֵשׁוּעַ, romanized: Yēšūaʿ ) was a common alternative form of the name Yehoshua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, Yəhōšūaʿ, 'Joshua') in later books of the Hebrew Bible and among Jewish people of the Second Temple period.

Jesus (/ ˈ dʒ iː z ə s /) is a masculine given name derived from Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς; Iesus in Classical Latin) the Ancient Greek form of the Hebrew name Yeshua (ישוע).

The English name Jesus, from Greek Iēsous, is a rendering of Joshua (Hebrew Yehoshua, later Yeshua), and was not uncommon in Judea at the time of the birth of Jesus. Folk etymology linked the names Yehoshua and Yeshua to the verb meaning 'save' and the noun 'salvation'. [29]
Bauckham notes that the spelling Yeshu is found on one ossuary, Rahmani 9, which supports that the name Yeshu was not invented as a way of avoiding pronouncing the name Yeshua or Yehoshua in relation to Jesus, but that it may still be that rabbinical use of Yeshu was intended to distinguish Jesus from rabbis bearing the biblical name "Joshua", Yehoshua.
