Joshua (name)
This article is about the given name. For people with the surname, see Joshua (surname).
Not to be confused with Josiah (given name) or Joseph.
Joshua is a given name derived from the Hebrewיְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Modern:Yəhōšūaʿ, Tiberian:Yŏhōšūaʿ),[5] prominently belonging to Joshua, an early Hebrew leader of the Exodus period who has a major role in several books of the Bible.
The name was a common alternative form of the name יֵשׁוּעַ (Yēšūaʿ) which corresponds to the Greek spelling Ἰησοῦς (Iesous), from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus.[6][7] As a result of the origin of the name, a majority of people before the 17th century who have this name were Jewish.
A variant, truncated form of the name, Josh, gained popularity in the United States in the 1920s.
