Joshua, it is a shortened form of Jehoshua, meaning "Jehovah is Salvation"
Son of Nun; an Ephraimite who ministered to Moses and was later appointed as his successor. (Ex 33:11; De 34:9; Jos 1:1, 2) The Scriptures portray Joshua as a bold and fearless leader, one who was confident in the certainty of Jehovah’s promises, obedient to divine direction, and determined to serve Jehovah in faithfulness. His original name was Hoshea, but Moses called him Joshua or Jehoshua. (Nu 13:8, 16) The Bible record, however, does not reveal just when Hoshea came to be known as Joshua.

His name WAS Hoshea in Deut 23:44 but Moses changed it to Joshua. Means Yahweh is Salvation. Sort of cool.
Like Moses--his name meant 'drawn from the waters' and he is the one that led the people THROUGH the waters of the Red Sea.

Joshua, remember the battle of jericho? that was when the israelites came out of wandering and started killing everyone to make room for them.

Moses means To bring out of the water. There are many Moses stories. Joshuah was the next great murderer.
