Yahshua

Yahshua is a masculine name representing an alternative transliteration of Jesus' Hebrew name, sometimes also spelled as Yeshua or Yehoshua. The name carries deep religious significance, particularly in Messianic Jewish communities and some Christian groups who prefer to use what they consider a more historically accurate form of Jesus' name. Yahshua literally means "Yahweh (God) is salvation" or "God saves." The name has gained some popularity in recent decades among parents seeking names with strong biblical connections and spiritual meaning. While not in mainstream usage, it represents a distinctive choice that directly connects to Hebrew linguistic and religious traditions.

Pronounced yah-SHOO-uh.
