Proper noun
Jeshua
Alternative spelling of Yeshua (“Jesus” or “Joshua”); a traditional Biblical transliteration, now uncommon among Anglophones as pronunciation of initial Hebrew yodh can be more clearly represented by English grapheme ⟨y⟩ whereas the most common modern English pronunciation of ⟨j⟩ has become [dʒ]. (Compare the related English names Jesus and Joshua; corruption of the original [j] sound into [dʒ] has become widespread standard English pronunciation of both names.)
