The name 'Jesus' is of Hebrew origin, although used in Aramaic too, the original form is the same as that of 'Joshua'. The spelling is ישוע, which is pronounced yeshu` or yeshua` (that a is short vocal reflex before the `, which represents a pharyngeal sound known as ayin). In the Syriac variety of Aramaic, the name 'Jesus' is written ܝܫܘܥ, which is pronounced yeshu` in West Syriac pronunciation, and isho` in East Syriac pronunciation.
