I can not find the correct Hebrew name for Jesus...?

I always thought it was spelled "Yeshua".


I cannot find any reference to this.


It is pronounced: Yes-shoo-ah...Correct?


Please help.

I can not find the correct Hebrew name for Jesus...?
" “Jesus” is a transliteration, occurring in a number of languages and based on the Latin "Iesus", of the Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs), itself a Hellenisation of the Hebrew יהושע (Yehoshua) or Hebrew-Aramaic ישוע (Yeshua), meaning “YHWH rescues”. "YHWH" is the name of God in the Hebrew tradition, often rendered as "the LORD" in English."

"Yeshua, spelled יֵשׁוּעַ (Yēšûă‘) or ישוע in Hebrew was a common name among Jews of the Second Temple Period, and is believed by some scholars and religious groups to be the Hebrew or Aramaic name for Jesus. In modern Hebrew, Yeshu (ישו) and Yeshua (ישוע) are in fact the common transcriptions for Jesus. But the claim that this pronunciation and Hebrew spelling accurately represent the original and historic name of the person known as Jesus remains the subject of ongoing religious and scholarly debate."





"Among the Jews of the Second Temple Period, the Biblical Aramaic/Hebrew name יֵוֹשֻׁשׁוּעַ Yeshua‘ was common: the Hebrew Bible mentions several individuals with this name. This name is a feature of biblical books written in the post-Exilic period (Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles) and was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Strong's Concordance connects the name יֵוֹשֻׁשׁוּעַ Yeshua`, in the English form Jeshua (as used in multiple instances in Ezra, Nehemiah, and 1 and 2 Chronicles), with the verb "to save". This comports with Matthew 1:21: "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins" (NASB)."





"The name יֵוֹשֻׁשׁוּעַ "Yeshua" (transliterated in the English Old Testament as Jeshua) is a late form of the Biblical Hebrew name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ Yehoshua (Joshua), and spelled with a waw in the second syllable. The Late Biblical Hebrew spellings for earlier names often contracted the theophoric element Yeho- to Yo-. Thus יהוחנן Yehochanan contracted to יוחנן Yochanan. However, there is no name (aside from Yehoshua`) in which Yeho- became Ye-."





"The name Yehoshua has the form of a compound of "Yeho-" and "shua": Yeho- יְהוֹ is another form of יָהו Yahu, a theophoric element standing for the personal name of God YHWH, and שׁוּוֹשֻׁעַ shua‘ is a noun meaning "a cry for help", "a saving cry", that is, 'a shout given when in need of rescue'. Together the name would then literally mean, "God is a saving-cry," that is, "shout to God when in need of help"."
