Isaiah
Hebrew
"Salvation of the Lord"

Joshua
Hebrew
"the Lord is my salvation"

Jace
Hebrew, diminutive of Jason
"the Lord is salvation"
Jace may sound like only half a name -- it's usually pronounced like the first half of Jason though some may consider it a spelling-out of the initials J. C. -- but it's a popular choice for baby…
Jesus
Hebrew
"the Lord is salvation"
Jesus -- pronounced hay-SOOS -- is used exclusively and extensively among Spanish speakers, though JEE-zus as in the first name of Christ is never used in the Anglophone world. Jesus Quintana was a…

French, Spanish and Portuguese variation of Joshua, Hebrew
"the Lord is my salvation"
Josue - usually written as Josué - is a French, Spanish, and Portuguese variation of Joshua that has been in the US Top 300 since 1990 and in the Top 1000 since the 70s. While it remains popular in…

Latin variation of Isaiah
"Salvation of the Lord"

Eliseo
Italian and Spanish variation of Elisha
"God is my salvation"
This Latinate name would have no problem fitting into an American classroom. It has made frequent appearances in the US Top 1000 over the last several decades. Borne by several Spanish saints, it…
Ozias
Greek, Hebrew
"my strength is God"
A cool Biblical option that entered the US Top 1000 for the first time ever in 2024, Ozias gets extra points for its user-friendly nicknames Oz and Ozzie or Ozzy. Given to around 280 boys in 2024, it…
Jase
Diminutive of Jason
"the Lord is salvation"
Nickname name Jase joined twin brother Jace in the Top 100 in 2013, after first entering the list in 2002 -- but has since dropped in the charts. Inspiration may be Jase (born Jason) Robinson of the…
Elisha
Hebrew
"God is my salvation"
Creative name whose only limitation is that it looks like it would be pronounced akin to Alicia and Elissa — although as a Biblical boys’ name , it is traditionally pronounced ee-LIE-shah. With…
Isael
Portuguese form of Israel, or invented name, Hebrew
"he who struggles with God; God is salvation"
Isael, and more particularly its spelling variation Izael, are among the fastest-rising boys' names in the US. It is used as a Portuguese form of Israel, though it may also be a twist on Ismael and…
Yeshua
Variation of Joshua, Hebrew
"the Lord is my salvation"
Yeshua is often considered the "real" name of Jesus, via the Hebrew to Greek to Latin to English evolution of Yeshua to Iesous to Iesus to Jesus. It is also used as a common alternative of Yehoshua…

Variation of Isaiah, Hebrew
"Salvation of the Lord"
Streamlined spelling of the biblical name, as in basketball great Isiah Thomas, falling fast from its height in the charts.

Short form of Esaias or variation of Esau, Hebrew

Greek
"salvation"
This rare alternative to cool Biblical Ozias or Uzziah is full of energy and comes with cool nickname Oz.
Hosea
Hebrew
"salvation"

"salvation"
Variation of Hosea.
Elisha
Variant of Alicia or Hebrew
