Jesiah is Hebrew in Origin.
Jesiah is a modern English given name rooted in the Hebrew Jeshaiah/Jesaiah (Yəsha‘yāh[u]), meaning "Yahweh is salvation" or "the Lord saves." The name combines the root yashaʿ "to save, deliver" with the theophoric element -yah/-yahu. In the Hebrew Bible, several minor figures bear the forms Jeshaiah/Jesaiah (e.g., in Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah), which underpin the later Anglicized Jesiah.
As a standalone given name, Jesiah saw little use in English until the late 20th century, rising in the United States alongside other -iah names such as Isaiah and Josiah. Variants and related forms include Jesaiah, Jeshaiah, Yeshaiah/Yeshaia, Yeshayahu (Hebrew), Yeshaya (Yiddish), and Isaiah (the common prophetic form). Though often confused with Josiah ("Yahweh supports/heals"), Jesiah retains the salvation sense of Isaiah while offering a contemporary sound.
