Proper noun
- {{alternative spelling of|en|Yeshua|t=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 [d͡ʒ]. (Compare the related English names [[Jesus]] and [[Joshua]]; the variants with [d͡ʒ] for ⟨j⟩ have become standard.)
