History and Origin
The proper name Jesus /ˈdʒiːzəs/ used in the English language originates from the Latin form of the Greek name Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous), a rendition of the Hebrew Yeshua (ישוע), also having the variants Joshua or Jeshua. In a religious context the name refers to Jesus, the central figure of Christianity.
Jesús is a popular personal name in the Hispanic Christian sphere of influence (where it is spelled with an accented 'u' Jesús and pronounced [xeˈsus]). In Mexico, persons with that name are often called by the nickname Chuy.
Spanish and Portuguese: name taken in honour of Christ. The name Jesus is an Aramaic byform (meaning ‘saviour’) of the earlier Hebrew name Joshua. It was suggested to Mary's husband Joseph by the angel of the Lord at the Annunciation: ‘she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins’ (Matthew 1: 21). In many European countries it has been felt impious to give this name to mere mortal children, but there are no such inhibitions in the Hispanic world, where it is regularly bestowed as a token of Christian faith.
Feminine form: Jesusa.
Pet forms: Chus, Chucho m, f.
