Chusa is Spanish in Origin.
Chusa is a Spanish feminine hypocoristic of Jesusa and María Jesús, ultimately rooted in Jesús (from Hebrew Yeshua/Yehoshua, “Yahweh is salvation”). It functions as a warm, colloquial given name in Spain, documented in civil records and popular culture from the late 19th and especially 20th century; notable bearers include the actress Chusa Barbero. Usage is most common in Spain, with rarer appearances in Latin America.
Variants and related forms include Chus (unisex), Chusi, and the masculine Chuso; formal counterparts are Jesús, Jesusa, and María Jesús. Beyond the Hispanic sphere, Chusa also appears in Korean cultural history as an art-name meaning “Autumn Chronicle/History” (秋史, Hangul 추사), famously used by scholar-calligrapher Kim Jeong-hui; while not a standard given name in Korea, it lends the name an erudite, autumnal association. Alternate romanizations sometimes render it Chu-sa.
