Yes. It originated as a Hebrew name, specifically the name of Moses' successor as political
and military leader of Israel.

The word "Joshua" is the form in which the name came to 'modern' times in the English translation
commissioned by King James.

The original Hebrew pronunciation, and the name given to children in Hebrew today, is "yeh-ho-SHOO-ah".
