"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.
