Johusa is a rare modern given name, likely a creative respelling of Joshua/Josua. Rooted in Hebrew Yehoshua meaning "YHWH is salvation," via the shorter Yeshua, this theophoric name underlies the English Joshua and is etymologically related to Jesus. Johusa therefore carries the same meaning: divine deliverance or "the Lord saves."

Documented only sporadically in late 20th-21st-century records, Johusa appears chiefly in English-speaking contexts as parents seek a distinctive twist on a familiar biblical classic; usage remains very rare and unstandardized. Closest equivalents and cognates include Joshua (English), Josua (German/Scandinavian), Josué (Spanish, French, Portuguese), Giosuè (Italian), Jozua (Dutch), Iosua (Romanian), and the Hebrew forms Yehoshua and Yeshua; the older related form Hoshea/Oshea also occurs in Scripture. Nicknames parallel Joshua’s - Josh, Jo, Joss - while spelling variants may surface informally but have no established status.
