There have been a number of proposals as to the origin and etymological origin of the name Jesus. [16] The name is related to the Biblical Hebrew form Yehoshua`(יְהוֹשֻׁעַ ), which is a theophoric name first mentioned in the Bible in Exodus 17:9 referring to one of Moses' companions and his successor as leader of the Israelites.
