Meaning: Jesua is a Spanish given name in the family of Jesus and Joshua, all resting on the Hebrew Yeshua, 'Yahweh is salvation,' from a root meaning 'to rescue' or 'to deliver.'

History & Origin
Jesua is a Spanish form standing beside Jesus and Joshua, and like them it goes back to the Hebrew Yeshua, 'Yahweh is salvation.' It is a devout name, given in faith. In the United States it appears mainly in Spanish-speaking families, carrying the same salvation meaning that runs through both the biblical Joshua and the reverent name Jesus.
Jesua was never common in the American record, given to only about fourteen boys a year around 2008. A boy named Jesua then is in his teens today. It sits within the broad Hispanic tradition of scriptural names, chosen for their devotion and heritage rather than for fashion.
