Insights
Today, Joshua is one of the most common baby names (popularity 99/100).
It is less common today than at its historical peak.
The name Joshua originates from the Hebrew name Yehoshua (ΧΦ°ΧΧΦΉΧ©Φ»ΧΧ’Φ·), meaning 'Yahweh is salvation.' It is prominently featured in the Bible as the name of Moses' successor who led the Israelites into the Promised Land. The Greek form 'Iesous' (from which 'Jesus' is derived) also shares this root. Joshua has been a consistently popular name in English-speaking countries since the Protestant Reformation, reflecting its enduring biblical appeal.
