Jozua Origin and Meaning

The name Jozua is a boy's name of Dutch origin.

Jozua is a masculine name of Dutch and Afrikaans origin, representing a variation of Joshua, which comes from the Hebrew name Yehoshua, meaning 'Yahweh is salvation.' This distinctive spelling is particularly common in the Netherlands, South Africa, and other Dutch-influenced regions. While maintaining the biblical roots and strong meaning of the original Hebrew name, Jozua offers a unique cultural twist that sets it apart. The name carries the same historical significance as Joshua – in the Bible, Joshua was Moses' successor who led the Israelites into the Promised Land. Despite its traditional roots, Jozua has a modern, international feel.
