There are 2 Hebrew names for Jesus:
Jews use the word Yeshu (ישו) which has no meaning at all. It is a Hebrew translation of the Latin word Iesu.
Christians use the word Yeshua (ישוע) (stressed on the u), which is a play on the Hebrew word Yeshu'ah (ישועה) (stress on the last syllable), which means "deliverance".
It is most likely that neither word is correct, since Jesus was Jewish, and neither word is a proper Jewish name. Some scholars believe his name was Joshua (yehoshua, יהושוע), which means G-d will deliver.

∙ 11y agoIn Modern Hebrew, the name Yeshu (ישו) has no meaning because it's a just Hebrew form of the Latin name Iesu. However, Christians prefer to use the Aramaic name Yeshua (ישוע) which means "salvation."
"Yehoshua", which turns into Jesus when you go to English via Greek Iesous, means "Yahweh is salvation." The Joshua in the old testament is referred to as "Son of Naue" to distinguish him from Jesus the Christ, as the Greek form of both Jesus and Joshua is the same.
