Giosuè is Hebrew, Italian, Latin in Origin.
Giosuè is the Italian form of biblical Joshua, transmitted through Latin Iosue from Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, vocalized Yehoshua. The Hebrew name is a theophoric compound: yeho-, a form of the divine name YHWH, joined to the root y-š-ʿ, to save, giving the literal sense YHWH is salvation. In the Bible, Joshua’s earlier name appears as Hoshea, with the divine element added in Numbers 13:16.
Italian usage belongs mainly to Christian and Jewish biblical naming, with the accented spelling marking final stress. The name is familiar in Italy through Giosuè Carducci, the poet and 1906 Nobel laureate, and through Giosuè Orefice in Roberto Benigni’s film Life Is Beautiful. Related forms include Spanish and Portuguese Josué, French Josué, English Joshua, and Hebrew Yehoshua; unaccented Giosue often appears where diacritics are omitted.
