Eesa

Eesa is the Arabic form of the name borne by the prophet Jesus, derived from the Aramaic Yeshua, itself a contraction of the Hebrew Yehoshua, meaning God is salvation. In Islamic tradition, Eesa ibn Maryam (Jesus son of Mary) is revered as a major prophet, making this name widely used across Arabic-speaking and broader Muslim communities. Related forms include Isa, the more common Arabic transliteration, as well as the Hebrew Yeshua and the Greek-derived Jesus.
