  • IS IT TRUE THAT THE NAME “JESUS” IN THE EGYPITIAN TONGUE IS “ESU”, IF NOT WHAT IS IT AND IT’S MEANING?

  • The Arabic form of the name “Jesus” is ‘Isa. The Egyptian (Coptic) form is the same as the Greek form, Iésous, which is generally written something like IHCOYC

    There is no other Egyptian form of the name

    The name apparently comes from Hebrew, and is equivalent to Joshua (Yehoshua)–The LORD has saved. The Hebrew name ‘Yeshua’ occurs several times in the TaNaK, the Hebrew scriptures, in Chronicles, Ezrra, and Nehemiah.
