Answer 2

The name "Jesus" is a westernized version of the Hebrew name "Yeshua;" for which there are numerous variants (one of which is "Joshua." Just as in English we say "Issac" for the Hebrew "Yitzhack." The name "Jesus" (Yeshua/Joshua) was very common, and was most definitely a male name.

The name Jesus was adopted by the Spanish speaking community only after it came into widespread usage. The name Jesus predates the Spanish Language.

Answer 3

if Jesus lived so long ago, then why should people try to find facts that are meaningless. After all, is it fair to assume that we know the correct spelling of the persons name, this name can be played with without actually altering its sound. My son does not see any difference between a man and a woman, so hierarchical (don t know if I spelt that right) religion is purely a modern unwanted cultural trend. No replies please, as you have your own views.

Answer 4

Actually, the origin of the name is Greek. It was their equivalent of his name in Hebrew, Jeshua (Yay-shoo-ah) and found its way into use through the Romans, who even though latin was their main language, considered Greek to be the language of the truly educated, thus the Greek rendition of his name. As an aside the same is tru for the names of the Egyptians deiteis that most of us are familiar with...most are actually the Greek equivalents of their names...

Answer 5

Jesus is a very common name in Spanish-speaking countries.
The English equivalent is Jesse.
