Essa

Essa is an Arabic form of Jesus, derived from the Quranic Arabic name Isa, which itself traces back through Aramaic and Hebrew to the name Yeshua, meaning salvation or God saves. The name appears throughout the Quran as the designation for the prophet Jesus, making it widely used across Muslim communities in the Middle East, South Asia, and beyond. Related forms include Isa, Yeshua, Joshua, and Jesus.
