Ἰησοῦ
Iēsoûs
Personal name. Most prominently refers to 1) Iēsoûs of Nazareth, figure from 1st-century Judea; 2) Joshua son of Nun—the successor to Moses in Israelite tradition—as well as lesser-known Israelites in the Greek Bible. The core meaning is 'Yahweh is salvation' but the Greek term is used as a proper name for various individuals, primarily in reference to Yeshua/Joshua. In Hellenistic and Roman contexts, Ἰησοῦς designates persons with the Hebrew/Aramaic name Yĕhōšūaʿ or Yēšūaʿ, and does not inherently carry theological meaning.
