This name, Yahshuah (יהשוה for 'Jesus'), is also known as the pentagrammaton. It is an attempt by Christian theologians to read the name of the Christian deity into The unpronounced name of the Jewish God. The first of Reuchlin's two books on Kabbalah, De verbo mirifico, "speaks of the […] name of Jesus derived from the tetragrammaton". [9]
Building on Kabbalah's conception of the soul, Abraham Abulafia's meditations included the "inner illumination of" the human form [47] The Kabbalah posits that the human soul has three elements: the nefesh, ru'ach, and neshamah.

Later translations in other languages also follow suit. Some modern Evangelical translations also use Isa, such as David Owen's Life of Christ (Arabic 1987).

In Mormonism the name of God the Father is Elohim [28] and the name of Jesus in his pre-incarnate state was Jehovah.
