The Lord is salvation
Jeshua is a late form of the Hebrew name Yehoshua, which is also the root of the names Joshua and Jesus. It appears frequently in the post-exilic books of the Hebrew Bible, such as Ezra and Nehemiah, referring to high priests and leaders. While less common than its variants, it is often chosen by parents seeking a more direct transliteration of the biblical Hebrew form.
