Issa

Issa is an Arabic form of the name Jesus, itself derived through Greek Iesous and Latin Iesus from the Hebrew Yeshua, meaning God is salvation or God saves. It is the name used for Jesus in the Quran, where he is venerated as a prophet, making Issa a traditionally common name across the Arabic-speaking and broader Muslim world. Related forms include Yeshua, Yeshu, and Isa, with Isa being a common alternate romanization of the same Arabic name.
