What is the meaning of the name Yeshu’ah ?

The baby name Yeshu’ah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced yeh-SHOO-ah (IPA: /jɛʃuˈa/).

Yeshu’ah is Hebrew in Origin.

Yeshu'ah is a Hebrew transliteration of יְשׁוּעָה (yeshu‘ah), the noun meaning “salvation” or “deliverance.” The apostrophe marks the guttural letter ayin before the final -ah. It is closely related to the masculine personal name יֵשׁוּעַ (Yeshua), a shortened, post‑exilic form of יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshua, Joshua), whose meaning expands to “Yahweh is salvation.”

In biblical and post‑biblical usage, Yeshua/Jeshua names several figures, including the high priest of the early Second Temple period; through Greek Iēsous and Latin Iesus it yielded the form Jesus, while English Joshua preserves the older Yehoshua. Contemporary variants include Yeshua, Yeshu’a/Yeshuah, Jeshua; cross‑language equivalents are Joshua, Josué/Josue, Jesús/Jesus, and Arabic Yasu‘ (Jesus) and Yusha‘ (Joshua). As a given name, Yeshu'ah is rare but used in modern Hebrew - often perceived as feminine - emphasizing the core sense of “salvation.”
