"ישו" meaning in All languages combined

See ישו on Wiktionary

Proper name [Hebrew]

IPA: /ˈjɛː.sʊ/ [Modern-Israeli-Hebrew] Forms: יֵשׁוּ [canonical], yeshú [romanization]
Etymology: From ישוע, itself from יהושע. There are two common explanations for the absence of the ayin: * Eruvin 53b:6-7 relates that Galileans did not distinguish the letters ayin, ḥet, he, and aleph, making the simplest explanation that this was a more accurate rendering of his name from the perspective of Judeans and Babylonians. Samaritan Hebrew continues to not distinguish these letters today, and Samaria is between Galilee and Judea. A pronunciation of Jesus's Syriac name ܝܫܘܥ without the ayin would render "yeshu". * Alternatively, it has been suggested that ישו is a deliberate pun on יש״ו. However, most religious Jews reserve "yimach shemo" for people like Haman and Hitler. It should be noted that: * Many individuals in the Talmud are called Yeshu, not all of whom can be the same person as their stories happen at very different times in Jewish history. * The name is found on one 1st-century ossuary, along with the more common Yeshua.
