==Name==
The English name "Joshua" is a rendering of the [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] ''Yehoshua'', and is mostly interpreted as "[[Yahweh]] is salvation";{{sfn|Gesenius|1906|pp=221, 446}}<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.studylight.org/dic/fbd/view.cgi?number=T2115|title= Fausset's Bible Dictionary|publisher= Study Light|access-date= 8 January 2018|archive-date= 16 March 2012|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120316082511/http://www.studylight.org/dic/fbd/view.cgi?number=T2115|url-status= live}}</ref> although others have also alternatively interpreted it as "[[Yahweh]] is lordly".{{sfn|Ayali-Darshan|2018|pp=}} The [[theophoric name]] appears to be constructed from a combination of the [[Tetragrammaton]] with the Hebrew noun יְשׁוּעָה ([[Modern Hebrew|Modern:]] ''yəšūʿa'', [[Tiberian Hebrew|Tiberian:]] ''yăšūʿā''), meaning "salvation";<ref>{{Cite web |title=Strong's Hebrew Concordance - 3444. yeshuah |url=https://biblehub.com/hebrew/3444.htm |website=Bible Hub}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Inflection of יְשׁוּעָה |url=https://www.pealim.com/dict/8241-yeshua/ |website=Pealim}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Klein Dictionary, יְשׁוּעָה |url=https://www.sefaria.org/Klein_Dictionary%2C_%D7%99%D6%B0%D7%A9%D7%81%D7%95%D6%BC%D7%A2%D6%B8%D7%94?ven=Carta_Jerusalem%3B_1st_edition,_1987&lang=bi |website=Sefaria}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Jastrow, יְשׁוּעָה |url=https://www.sefaria.org/Jastrow%2C_%D7%99%D6%B0%D7%A9%D7%81%D7%95%D6%BC%D7%A2%D6%B8%D7%94?ven=London,_Luzac,_1903&lang=bi |website=Sefaria}}</ref> derived from the [[Hebrew root]] ישׁע (''y-š-ʿ''), meaning "to save/help/deliver".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Strong's Hebrew Concordance - 3467. yasha |url=https://biblehub.com/hebrew/3467.htm |website=Bible Hub}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Klein Dictionary, ישׁע |url=https://www.sefaria.org/Klein_Dictionary%2C_%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%81%D7%A2?ven=Carta_Jerusalem%3B_1st_edition,_1987&lang=bi |website=Sefaria}}</ref> Other theophoric names sharing a similar meaning can also be found throughout the [[Hebrew Bible]], such as that of the son of [[David]] אֱלִישׁוּעַ (''ʾĔlīšūaʿ''), whose name means "My [[El (deity)|El]] ([[God]]) is salvation".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Strong's Hebrew Concordance - 474.

"[[Jesus (name)|Jesus]]" is the English derivative of the Greek transliteration of "Yehoshua" via Latin. In the [[Septuagint]], all instances of the word "Yehoshua" are rendered as "{{lang|grc|Ἰησοῦς}}" (Iēsûs), the closest Greek pronunciation of the {{langx|arc|יֵשׁוּעַ}} {{transliteration|arc|Yēšūaʿ}}.<ref>''Bible'' {{Bibleverse||Nehemiah|8:17|ESV}}</ref><ref>[http://bibledatabase.net/html/septuagint/04_013.htm Numbers 13:16 LXX] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723025240/http://bibledatabase.net/html/septuagint/04_013.htm |date=2011-07-23 }} {{lang|grc|καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν Μωυσῆς τὸν Αὐσῆ υἱὸν Ναυῆ 'Ἰησοῦν'}} (and Moses named Hosea, son of Naue, ''Jesus'')</ref><ref>{{Citation|url=http://bibledatabase.net/html/septuagint/38_003.htm|work=Online Greek OT (Septuagint/LXX) UTF8 Bible|title=Zechariah|at=3:1–10|publisher=Bible database|access-date=8 January 2018|archive-date=23 July 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723025252/http://bibledatabase.net/html/septuagint/38_003.htm|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Strong's Hebrew Concordance - 3442.

This is also true in some [[Slavic languages]] following the [[Eastern Orthodox]] tradition (e.g. "{{lang |ru|Иисус Навин}}", ''Iisús Navín'', in Bulgarian, Serbian and Russian, but not Czech).
