Yeshua
and Jeshua
Yeshua, a proper noun serving chiefly as a personal name for multiple individuals in the Hebrew Bible, particularly prominent as the postexilic leader and priest who participated in the reconstruction of the Jerusalem temple. The term may also be used as a place name. Its lexical meaning, as a name, is derived from a verbal root conveying 'salvation' or 'deliverance,' often interpreted as 'Yahweh is salvation,' though the theophoric element is not explicit in this form. The semantic range includes personal name of individuals, a place name, and, in some settings, a short form for longer theophoric names such as Yehoshua (Joshua).

and Yeshua
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ (and) + proper masculine singular name יֵשׁוּעַ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the proper name יֵשׁוּעַ (Yeshua). The name is retained in transliteration to preserve its function as a personal name, while its etymological connection to the root ישע ("to save, deliver") underlies its meaning of "salvation." |
