Etymology

[edit]

Closely related to Old Aramaic and Biblical Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ (yēšûaʿ, Jesus), a syncopated form of יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (yəhôšuaʿ, Joshua).

Pronunciation

  • (Classical Edessan) IPA(key): /jəʃuʕ/
  • (Eastern Syriac) IPA(key): [ˈʔi.ʃoʕ]
  • (Western Syriac) IPA(key): [jeˈʃuʕ]

In Western Syriac dialects written in West Syriac Serṭā, ܝܫܘܥ is vocalized as ܝܶܫܽܘܥ (yešuʿ), close to the Biblical Hebrew/Aramaic root form יֵשׁוּעַ (yēšûaʿ). Eastern dialects written in East Syriac Maḏnḥāyā use the distinct alternate vocalization ܝܑܼܫܘܿܥ (ʾīšōʿ), resulting from a common vocalization of the initial syllable /jə/ into [ʔi] and a lowering of the vowel /u/ to [o] preceding a guttural.

Proper noun

  3. a male given name
