The history of the first name Yahushua

The name Yahushua originates from ancient Hebrew and Aramaic languages, with its roots tracing back to the ancient Israelite culture of the Middle East during the first millennium BCE. It is derived from the Hebrew words "Yahweh" (the name of God) and "yasha" (to deliver or save), essentially meaning "Yahweh is salvation" or "Yahweh saves."

One of the earliest recorded appearances of this name is in the Hebrew Bible, where it is used to refer to Joshua, the successor of Moses and the leader who led the Israelites into the Promised Land. The Aramaic version of the name, "Yeshua," is also found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient Jewish texts dating back to the last centuries BCE.

In the Christian tradition, Yahushua is the original Hebrew name of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the New Testament. The name was later transliterated into Greek as "Iesous" and then into Latin as "Iesus," from which the English "Jesus" is derived.

Some notable historical figures who bore the name Yahushua include Joshua, the Biblical leader mentioned earlier, who lived around the 13th century BCE. Another was Joshua ben Hananiah, a prominent Jewish scholar and leader during the Roman era, who lived in the 1st century CE.

In the early Christian era, there was Yahushua ben Sira, a Jewish philosopher and author of the Book of Sirach (or Ecclesiasticus), who lived in the 2nd century BCE. Later, in the 4th century CE, there was Yahushua Stylites, a Christian ascetic and monk known for living atop a pillar for over three decades.

Another notable figure was Yahushua ben Perahyah, a Jewish sage and leader of the Sanhedrin (Jewish council) in the 2nd century BCE, known for his wisdom and teachings on ethics and morality.
