Jeshua Jeshua

The name Jeshua is a shortened form of the name Joshua (Joshua). Please revert to that name for meaning and etymology.
This shortened form Jeshua occurs in the later Scriptures (see Neh 8:17 for a Jeshua the son of Nun, which is Joshua the successor of Moses - Num 13:16).

Other men named Jeshua are (and the following may or may not overlap): A Levite who dealt with voluntary offerings (2 Chr 31:15); A high priest mentioned by Ezra (2:2) and Zechariah (3:1) and Haggai who names him Joshua (1:1); A leader among the returnees under Zerubabel (Ezr 2:6); A leader of a priestly clan (Ezr 2:36); The father of one of the wall's repairers (Neh 3:19); One of the first rabbi's installed by Ezra (Neh 8:7).
And there is also a town in Judah named Jeshua, which is mentioned by Nehemiah (11:26).

The name Jeshua means Yah Is Salvation (see Joshua for the details).
