spraġ

spraġa (singulative)
spraġiet (paucal)
ispraġ (alternative)

In all likelihood from Arabic أَسْفَراج (ʔasfarāj), from Ancient Greek ἀσπάραγος (aspáragos). While the Maltese -p- may be due to influence by cognate Sicilian spàraciu, the -ra- strongly points to inheritance.


Għisa

From Arabic عِيسَى (ʕīsā, “Jesus”, among Muslims), of uncertain precise origins, but eventually from Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (yəhōšuᵃʿ). Among the clergy and townsfolk it was probably replaced with Italo-Romance Ġesù fairly early on. In some areas, however, it appears to have survived for very long. Vassalli still gives Sidna Għisa for “Dominus noster Iesus”, although for him this use is chiefly that of the “Saracens”, whereas the name properly refers to Joshua (it and Jesus going back to the same Hebrew form). In line with the general absence of Christian Arabic names in Maltese, there seems to be no trace of the proper Christian form يَسُوع (yasūʕ), unless it were perhaps found in the expression jessu għalik.

der

Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (yəhōšuᵃʿ)


Ġesù

Borrowed from Sicilian Gesù, from Latin Iesus, from Ancient Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs), from Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ (yēšuᵃʿ), contraction of יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (yəhōšuᵃʿ). Around 1800 the Muslim Arabic form Għisa was still attested, albeit marginally. The final stress in Maltese Ġesù also makes it seem likely that this Italo-Romance form did not immediately establish itself among the general populace, since it would then be expected to a stress shift of the first syllable.

c. 2015, Il-Bibbja : il-Kotba Mqaddsa, 5th edition, Valletta: Ghaqda Biblika Maltija, →OCLC, Il-Ktieb tal-Ġenesi 22:3:
