Jesus (/ ˈ dʒ iː z ə s /) is a masculine given name derived from Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς; Iesus in Classical Latin) the Ancient Greek form of the Hebrew name Yeshua (ישוע).

The English Jesus is a transliteration of the Greek Ἰησοῦς, or Iēsoûs.In translations of the Hebrew Bible into Ancient Greek, Iēsoûs was used to represent the Hebrew/Aramaic name Yeshua, a derivation of the earlier Hebrew Yehoshua, or Joshua.

The name יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua (transliterated in the English Old Testament as Jeshua), is a late form of the Biblical Hebrew name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ , Yehoshua (Joshua), and spelled with a waw in the second syllable.

(Ταβιθᾶ ἀνάστηθι), are similar to the "talitha kum" phrase used by Jesus. In Aramaic, it could be טביתא.

From top-left: Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and English transcriptions of the name Jesus. A typical Jew in Jesus's time had only one name, sometimes followed by a patronymic phrase of the form "son of [father's name]", or the individual's hometown.
