Spanish variation of Jesus, from Joshua

Jesú Origin and Meaning

The name Jesú is a boy's name.

Jesú is a masculine name of Spanish origin, likely a variant of Jesús, which directly refers to Jesus Christ in Christian tradition. The name comes from the Hebrew name Yeshua or Joshua, meaning 'God is salvation' or 'the Lord saves.' In Spanish-speaking countries, particularly in Latin America, naming boys Jesús has been a common practice for centuries as an expression of devotion, unlike in English-speaking countries where the name is less commonly used for children. The shortened form Jesú maintains the spiritual connection while offering a slightly different phonetic quality. The name carries profound religious significance and conveys reverence in cultures where it's used. Its pronunciation typically places emphasis on the final syllable (heh-SOO).
