"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.
Likewise Yeshu Ha-Notzri is the modern Hebrew equivalent for "Jesus the Nazarene" although in Christian texts the spellings Yeshua (i.e. "Joshua") and Yeshua Ha-Notzri [citation needed] are preferred, as per the Hebrew New Testaments of Franz Delitzsch (BFBS 1875) and Isaac Salkinsohn (TBS 1886).
However, both the Western and Eastern Syriac Christian traditions use the Aramaic name ܝܫܘܥ (in Hebrew script: ישוע) Yeshuʿ and Yishoʿ, respectively, including the ʿayin.

Brill's Encyclopedia of the Qur'an further states "It is not certain that Jesus' original name was Yeshua'" [2] However, the early Syriac/Aramaic form of the name Yeshua, the etymological link with 'salvation' (note the Hebrew consonantal root y-sh-`) in Matthew 1:21, all of the correspondences of Ἰησοῦς in the Greek OT and Second ...

The Hebrew Christian movement of the 19th century was an initiative which was largely led and integrated by Anglicans, and they included figures such as Michael Solomon Alexander, Bishop of Jerusalem 1842–1845; some figures, such as Joseph Frey, the founder of the London ...
"A Rosicrucian Crucifixion" showing the five Hebrew letters of the "Pentagrammaton" in the hexagram. The pentagrammaton (Greek: πενταγράμματον) or Yahshuah (Hebrew: יהשוה) is an allegorical form of the Hebrew name of Jesus, constructed from the Biblical Hebrew form of the name, Yeshua (a Hebrew form of Joshua), but altered so as to contain the letters of the Tetragrammaton.

There have been a number of proposals as to the origin and etymological origin of the name Jesus. [16] The name is related to the Biblical Hebrew form Yehoshua`(יְהוֹשֻׁעַ ), which is a theophoric name first mentioned in the Bible in Exodus 17:9 referring to one of Moses' companions and his successor as leader of the Israelites.
