Why are there no Wasp's with the first name Jesus, it is common and respected in " Latin " communities ..cont.

Question

all over the world, and meant as a mark of respect to Christ.
Yet it is conspicuously absent from people descending from immigrants from "Northern Europe" I certainly never met one.
Is this an unwritten Taboo on the name, or are there other explanations. Just curious !!.

WASP = White Anglo Saxon Protestant ( just in case )

Answer 1

The reason is that giving your child the name of Jesus is a sign of utmost respect for God. Protestantism at its inception was a breaking away from this aspect of respect for the Godhead, and making a change to respect for interpretation of the Bible. Both valid. Both different. Both equal.

Answer 2

*** it-2 p. 52 Jesus Christ ***

The name and title of the Son of God from the time of his anointing while on earth.

The name Jesus (Gr., I·e·sous′) corresponds to the Hebrew name Jeshua (or, in fuller form, Jehoshua), meaning “Jehovah Is Salvation.” The name itself was not unusual, many men being so named in that period. For this reason persons often added further identification, saying, “Jesus the Nazarene.” (Mr 10:47; Ac 2:22) Christ is from the Greek Khri·stos′, the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma·shi′ach (Messiah), and means “Anointed One.” Whereas the expression “anointed one” was properly applied to others before Jesus, such as Moses, Aaron, and David (Heb 11:24-26; Le 4:3; 8:12; 2Sa 22:51), the position, office, or service to which these were anointed only prefigured the superior position, office, and service of Jesus Christ. Jesus is therefore preeminently and uniquely “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”—Mt 16:16;

The name carries too much weight for a person I would think.

Answer 3

Most Latin are Catholic. If you know anything about Catholicism then you would know that they do not hold Jesus on such high regard as "Protestant Christians" do.

P.S. - alot of the Latin communities use Maria and Jose which are the Latin translations for Mary and Joseph, which "WASP" do use as well.

Answer 4

Few WASPs possess a Greek name.
Anglicized, however, the name is Joshua.
I know plenty of WASPs named Joshua.

Answer 5

Because the Mexicans are fixated on Catholicism. That's why 99.99% of their women are named Maria. Oy vey!

Jesus, Maria, Jose, Juan. So limited, so unimaginative.

Answer 6

Because they don't want to be associated with a fairytale.

Answer 9
