Iesous is Greek in Origin.

Iesous (Greek: Ιησούς, pronounced ee-eh-SOOS) is the Koine Greek rendering of the Hebrew-Aramaic name Yeshua, a later form of Yehoshua. It combines the theophoric element Yeho- ("YHWH") with the verb yasha' ("to save"), yielding the meaning "YHWH is salvation" or "the Lord saves".

In the Septuagint, Iesous translates the name of Joshua son of Nun; in the New Testament it names Jesus of Nazareth and appears throughout early Christian texts. As a modern given name, the exact Greek form is rare outside scholarly or liturgical settings, though it persists in Greek Orthodox usage as Ιησούς. Close variants include Jesus/Jesu (English), Jesús/Josué (Spanish), Jésus/Josué (French), Jesus/Josué (Portuguese), Iesus (Latin), Iosue (medieval Latin), Joshua (English), Yehoshua/Yeshua (Hebrew/Aramaic), and 'Isa (Arabic, via Syriac). The name carries strong sacred resonance across cultures.
