Jesus real name was Zusa Justus [his father being Joseph Barsabas Justus of Arimathea]. - 'Zusa' being the Greek or Hellenized equivalent of Emmanuel/God With Us/'God[Zeus] of gods with us' as the angel told Joseph to name the child (Zusa - Zusas - Jesus). Jesus' surname, Justus (Justice, Righteous, Tzadik) is the Davidic royal bloodline surname given to King David's dynasty. "Where two or three are gathered together in My Name [IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE] there I am in the midst of them." -Jesus

I agree the phonetic transcriptions are very helpful! But they aren't IPA; for instance, the voiceless alveolar fricative would be transcribed as /ʃ/ and not as in this (fantastic) video, and the vowel lengths would also not be represented by diacritics. It appears to be NAPA in fact; regardless, the phonological representations do really help :)

Some perspective from a different side of the world: I live in Kerala, India. Where Christianity arrived fairly early, there are legends that St. Thomas himself had come to the shores of Kerala. The region was an important part of the spice trade hub (Black Pepper is originally from here) and had trade relations going back to antiquity with the near East. There were populations of Jews in Kerala during the time Christianity spread around here, either because of that (earliest converts being Jews who might have spoken a similar dialect) or because the earliest Christians having been converted by people who spoke such a dialect themselves, people usually say 'Yešu/Yēšu' here for Jesus. However the Syriac form also exists in the vernacular 'Išo' (and there are Syriac Churches here from later Syriac Christians arriving here). Archaic names like 'Yohannan' exist here. YHWH is pronounced 'Yahо̄va/Yehо̄va'. Christianity here followed quite a different trajectory from the West until the arrival of the Portugese (Vasco da Gama) and is worth studying on its own. PS: I haven't read any academic discussions on what might the Jews of Kerala before the advent of Christianity might have spoken (or whether they were even a homogenous group of their own). It is also quite likely that they might've adopted the regional language to some extent, having intermarried with the local population somewhat.

I am one of those Syrian Christians. So can attest to it. Thomas came to Kerala exactly because of the Spice trade. If you look at Jew history you would notice am interesting fact... The only place they lived peacefully without any issues from the locals was Kerala. So Kerala had a very sizable Jew population. So one might ask why doesn't it have that much now? Well most of these Jews just went to Israel. Malayalam is even now taught in their schools due to it

Great video! As a Muslim & Arabic speaker (sister language to Hebrew), it’s noteworthy to mention that the Qur’ān interestingly calls Jesus “‘Īsa” (with a guttural ‘Ayn at the BEGINNING-not end), contrary to what many modern Arab Christians today call Jesus, which is “Yesū’” with the hard ‘Y’ sound and guttural ‘A’ at the end (in alignment with the Hebrew ‘Yeshū’’. So the Qur’ān seems to be paralleling the Eastern Syriac pronunciation of “Isho” or “Isu” as mentioned in the video, but converting the Shīn (‘sh-‘) into an S-sound, while retaining a guttural Ayn, that it places at the beginning. Of course, as a Muslim, I am biased towards believing “Isho” or “Isu” to be the correct & original historical pronunciation by Jesus’s townsfolk. But I guess we’ll never know for exact sure, academically speaking. Also interestingly however, is that it’s been found by recent ancient Arabian inscriptions that the name “‘Īsa” (as the Qur’ān uses it) existed before Islam presumably for the name of Jesus, and which bore the meaning of “to purchase or redeem” (in apparent connection with the belief of Christ’s sacrificial atonement), but which also very well may have been a later meaning ascribed to the name by Christians as a result of their theology, rather than the other way around. I hope Andrew can make another video discussing the exact MEANING of the name “Jesus” (or Yeshu/Iso) in all of these different dialectical variations (of course “God saves” is a classic interpretation), and how that contributed if at all to people’s thoughts & views of Jesus in the early period. Either way, thanks for the dropping the knowledge!

According to the Quran, the name variations of Jesus (pbuh) comes in two forms عيسى (Isa) with the sound Ain in the beginning and يسوع (Yasua) with the sound Ain at the end, and when connecting the idea of the name development in the region it seems to me that the name is derived from another name which is يوشع بن نون (Yausha Bin Noon) with the Ain at the end of the first name, the commander who lead the tribes to the holy land.

(su as 'soo', as in 'super') Typically with the 'phra' honorific that's also used for Buddhist monks and teachers: Phra Yesu. I'm now wondering if this is because of earlier exposure to Jesus' name by middle eastern contacts, or that it's just because in Thai you can't really have an S at the end of a word, or else it'll become a 't' sond which wouldn't sound nice so 19th century Western missionaries went with Yesu..

In Arab countries and Pakistan, he is commonly referred to as Isa (Arabic ʕiːsaː, Urdu ʔiːsaː) by the Muslims, but by the Christians he is reffered as Yasu (Arabic jasuːʕ Urdu jasuː) or Yasu al-Masih (Arabic jasuːʕal masiːħ Urdu jasuːal masiːh), I've heard that the reason for this is that he Arabs always called him Isa, but the people living outside the Arabian peninsula who didn't speak Arabic called him Yasu or Yeshu, but when Islam spread and Arabic became the dominant language, the people who converted to Islam had no problem changing his name to Isa, but the Christians didn't, and they kept it as Yasu, since Urdu is heavily influenced by Arabic, I suppose that this also spread to Pakistan.

Romans 10:13 “For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Eminent historian Ernest Renan studied the life of Christ, and he acknowledged that the Savior was never in His life time known by or called by the name of “Jesus” (THE LIFE OF JESUS, p. 90). The name Jesus has only existed since the 17th century. In the 1611 English Version of the Bible (KJV), the name of Christ is Iesus (pronounced “ee-sus”), and only later was it changed to Jesus (pronounced “gee-sus”). The revealed name is very important to our salvation in Christ. The idea of taking God’s name in vain, which means to bring His Name to uselessness, or changing His name, or taking a vow by His name and not fulfilling that vow, so this is what is meant by “taking His name in vain” (Exodus 20:2). We must acknowledge that the name of salvation cannot be changed, “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). You cannot change the revealed name of our Savior, and there is no excuse acceptable to God for doing so, even if one speaks in another tongue, or rather because of the languages, of mankind. You must take this very seriously, for the warning of God is clear: “‘If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to My name {YAH},’ Says the Lord of hosts, I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart” (Malachi 2:2). Although there are descriptive names, there is only one Personal name of God by which to give glory to the LORD, as we say, “Halleluyah,” which is, “Praise YAH!” Knowing God’s revealed name is very important for this is the only name of salvation. The Bible tells us the name of salvation, “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation’” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV). Therefore, we must “Praise YAH,” as many may be unknowingly doing when they say, “Halleluyah!” “Praise YAH!” These other names produced by man via linguistic evolution are lacking a, “Thus says the LORD!” These man-made names, which are a product of languages, and not the revelation of God, such as Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous, and not to mention “Hey-zeus, are not valid. ~So where did we get the true name of God, the very name “YAH”? Moses asked God for His name, and God replied, “HAYAH Ashar HAYAH,” which means: “I AM Who I AM,” therefore, Moses was told the essential name of God is YAH, I AM (HAYAH, the I AM), for God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM {YAH} has sent me to you.’” (Exodus 3:14). People say, “Oh, the Lord has many names.” No, the Lord has only One Personal essential name, which always has “YAH.” “And God spoke to Moses and said to him: ‘I, the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as EL SHADDAI [God Almighty], but by My name YAHAWAH, I was not known to them’” (Exodus 6:2-3). Therefore, the name YAH is the essential and the consistently true name of God. For this name YAH is the name which is above every name! The apostle Paul originally wrote this about the Savior’s name, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of YAHSHUA every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Messiah is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11). Here are the facts: The Savior told them that He was the I AM, as in “YAH” (John 8:58), and more facts: 1. Moses was given the name which is above every name [YAH]. (see Exodus 3:14) 2. The apostle Paul testifies that Christ has the name which is above every name [YAH]. (see Philippians 2:9) 3. The Lord YAH made it clear to Moses that although He, God, was known by many descriptive names, for example, El Shaddai, Emmanuel, Lord, Savior, Messiah, He only has One Personal Essential Name: YAH. 4. The apostle Peter states: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). 5. The apostle Paul heard the Savior give His name in Hebrew on the road to Damascus (Acts 26:15). We know that the Savior did not say, “Jesus,” because: • The name Jesus has only existed since the 17th century c.e. (1611 English Bible: “Iesus.”) Contrarily to what many say, the name Jesus does not mean salvation. • The name Jesus is not a Hebrew name. • The name Jesus came from many linguistic changes: Iesus (ee-sus), Iesous (ee-ay-sous), a transliteration of Yeshua, which is a common Aramaic name at the time of Christ. • The Lord has revealed His name only in Hebrew (Exodus 3:14; Isaiah 12:2; Act 26:14-15). Behold the One revealed Name by which we must be saved: YAHSHUA! And every tongue, language of mankind, is to know this one name YAHSHUA (Philippians 2:11). And this is the essence of the Gospel: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18). Logically, if there are many names for Christ, then to accept one among the many would be tantamount to rejecting the rest. Therefore, there can only be one revealed name given according to one language, as it is, and should be in Hebrew. Otherwise, how can we be sure that we are not rejecting the Lord’s revealed name from Heaven?

What Language Did Yahusha Speak? YESHUA is used in Scripture as a name once, at NekemYah 8:17 (see interlinear). It was the diminutive form of Yahusha because of pressure to minimize the utterance of the Creator's Name, YAHUAH in its four vowels, since the return from Babel was so recent, and the Name was discouraged from being uttered. Yahusha did not speak Aramith, that is the speech of our captors while in Babel for 70 years. Aramaic is also the Babel script we now see so commonly erroneously called "modern Hebrew." The handwriting on the wall was unable to be deciphered until Danial was called to read it, in the Eberith script. Yusef Ben MatithYahu (Flavius Josephus) saw the golden headpiece of the high priest with the Name in Eberith, written in four vowels. Scripture calls the language spoken by the Eberim (Hebrews) "YAHUDITH" (H3066). YashaYahu / Isaiah 36:13 proves this (see an interlinear translation). Teachers promote their understanding of the facts constantly, but progress is slowly being made. Luke tells us in the letter of Acts that Yahusha spoke in Yahudith to Shaul on the road to Damascus, not Aramith or Greek. Paul addressed the rioting crowds in Yahudith in the same letter. The word Aramaic is not found in the letters of the first Natsarim. It is found in the book of YashaYahu. The Rabshakeh was yelling in Yahudith so all the people could understand clearly, but some recommended he speak in Aramith so most would NOT understand. The letters of the Natsarim were not written in Greek originally. The letter of MatithYahu was found in the DSS written in Hebrew, his native language. The Natsarim kept copies of MatithYahu in Eberith script for centuries.

I have kind of a silly question about the creation of the letter “J.” Was it just understood that written context would determine a word’s pronunciation? I don’t imagine anyone would see “Iames” and think it was anything other than “James,” but I could imagine it causing more confusion with common words. Especially if there wasn’t a lowercase “j” yet either. This is practically the opposite circumstance, but I’m reminded how in the Puerto Rican dialect of Spanish, words ending in the letter “S” lose that letter’s sound. So “gracias” just sounds like “gracia.” It’s just understood and implied. It’s something I’m still having to actively remember when speaking to my partner’s family. I know this wasn’t the focus of the video - my apologies. I’m an anthropologist specializing in Ancient Celtic culture, but my thesis had a linguistic focus. I really wish I’d kept with it because this video had me completely enraptured, and generally I have a fascination with etymology - specifically the etymology of given names.

The letter 'j' was developed in the 16th century to represent the sound better. Prior to it's popularization, 'i' was the closest natural phonological equivalent sound for Latin speaking people of the 'y' sound in Hebrew; so, for a name like 'iames', they wouldn't have pronounced with with the 'j' sound.

Yes, the pronunciation would just depend on the position (and the specific word in question, which you might just have to know). In Latin, where the alphabet comes from, we have the same thing: the letter i would be pronounced differently depending on position and environment. It basically works like the letter Y in Spanish: yo and y are pronounced in two versions, similar to Latin i. I'm not sure which variants of Spanish do or don't do this, but I've heard people pronouncing "yo" or "Yolanda" etc. with a sound that was similar (though a bit weaker) to the English J.

The spelling of English throughout the centuries has been wild. If I remember correctly there was no standard spelling of English words in the seventeenth century, in fact Shakespeare’s manuscripts show that often he spelled the same word in different ways. Furthermore words that haven’t changed their spelling now have a different pronunciation. We know that because Shakespeare used rhymes so when a rhyme it’s expected and it doesn’t really work it’s because the word had a different pronunciation. Hope it’s clear. In conclusion I am not even sure how James was pronounced in earlier centuries but I am willing to bet it was not like today’s and the letter j was adopted to reflect the difference between i and j that usage had produced. Btw I am not a linguist, just listened to videos about the topic because of personal interest. The field is huge but to give you an idea (in case you don’t already know) you can look up “the great vowel shift”. It’s about the dramatic transformation English language went through between the 1400s and 1700s.

Before studying biblical history and Jewish history for my Ph.D. in Theology I used to believe the same way, that the gospels were written in Greek originally. I soon found out this was not the case. The original texts were in Hebrew and Aramaic and were later translated into Greek once Christianity started immerging as a new religion, where some changes were made to the texts and some additional verses were added. The Jewish followers of Yeshua in the first centuries used both Hebrew and Aramaic texts in the church in Jerusalem where James, the brother of Yeshua was the first bishop. When they were forced out of Jerusalem by the Christians who had become the majority in 70AD with the destruction of the temple, they fled to Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. The group that ended up in Jordan used the Hebrew text while the group that went to Syria and Lebanon used the Aramaic texts. It always bothered me that the Greek language would be used by devout Jews given the fact that the Greek language is the language of pagans and the Greeks were who tried to completely destroy Judaism less than two centuries before this time, which no Jew would have forgotten about. This is where the story of Hanukkah described in the book of Macabbees comes from after a small group of Jewish fighters liberated the temple from occupying forces in the 2nd century BC. This would be considered the language of their enemies, and would be comparable to them using the German language after World War 2 to write sacred texts with, it just wouldn't happen. The apostle Barnabas when he went to India to spread the gospel took a complete Hebrew version of the New Testament with him and left them in India. Those Hebrew texts are now in a museum in London.

When I was a kid, in church (former christian), the preacher made a really funny little joke. He asked the congregation: "What is god's first name?" When no one could answer, he said, "Andy." We were all like, "Andy?!?!" The preacher said, "Yes! In the bible it says, 'Andy (And he) gave his only begotten son." I think that was a pretty funny little quip from the Pastor!

I’ve read a lot of claims, some attributed to Hebrew scholars, which seem to think it was ‘Yahushua’ where “Yahu” is pronounced quickly as though the two syllables were rolled into one, making it sound like “Yow” followed by an emphasized “Shoo” and finishing with a less emphasized “uh”…yowSHOOuh also is an abbreviated reference to a longer phrase which translates into “The Creator saves”

This is so fascinating. Listening to this made me realise that a lot of biblical names in Malayalam the language spoken in Kerala, south India, are almost the same as in the original Aramaic. Take the names Mariam, Yohanan, Mōsha, Isahac, Yākob for example. The name for Jesus is even more fascinating. We use both Yēshu and Īsho interchangeably both colloquially as well as liturgically. Could be a result the early missionaries from that region transmitting these names directly. St. Thomas is believed to have preached and been martyred here as well as waves of Syrian Christian missionaries who arrived with traders as early as the 3rd century.

Great video! Ayin is well preserved in Arabic, where you can still hear its original pronounciation. Or in Modern Hebrew, but only with distinct Mizrahi ("Oriental") pronounciation. Ashkenazi Israelis tend to pronounce it smoothly with a sound that resembles "thinking aloud": "ehh". Today's students of Hebrew often struggle to recognize the difference between ayin and aleph as the recent shifts in pronounciation make the two letters sound very similarly. Modern Hebrew refers to Jesus as "Yeshu" (ישו) with the exception of Messianic Jews, who prefer the word ישוע (Yeshua) due to its religious connotation ("salvation").

@@chefchaudard3580 Galilee was remote from JERUSALEM's point of view. In the bigger scheme of things it was the area where Jews lived next door to Greeks thanks to its proximity to Seleucid lands and the prevalence of Greek cities and colonies there. In fact, most Galileans had to make their money from trade with the Greek cities. A tekton (woodworker) like Jesus would have had few clients in his native Nazareth. Wood was a fairly expensive commodity there, but would have been fairly abundant in the wealthy Greek cities. So while Galilee is considered the backwater by Jews, it was actually a very cosmopolitan region where all the Jews, Greeks, and local non-Jewish groups mingled freely. Also, the reason Jews from Judaea thought their Galilean brethren were bumpkins was because Galilean Jews were the lowest rung of society in their own lands. Unlike Judaean Jews who had their own big cities and enjoyed access to Hellenistic culture while maintaining some level of political autonomy, Galileans didn't have their own cities precisely because the cities in their area were Greek (or Hellenistic).

The only problem with this video is that it doesn't explain why English pronounces Jesus's name is pronounced as /dʒiː/ instead of /jeː/. The video implies that the English arbitrarily started to pronounce the name that way. However, this is not true. The reality is that Latin /j/ developed into a /dʒ/ in Old French which carried over to Middle English after the Normans conquered England. When Late Middle English became Early Modern English, the Great Vowel Shift was starting to take place. The /eː/ in /dʒeːzus/ became /iː/. This is the reason for the pronunciation in English.

My father was born in Europe of German parents in 1905. His given name was Fritz. The family immigrated to the United States a couple of years later. In the early 1920s, my father became a naturalized citizen of the United States. His naturalization papers listed his name as Fred and, for the rest of his life, he introduced himself as Fred and signed his name, Fred. Dad’s older brother, Joseph, called him Fritz even decades later, presumably because that is what he had called him when they were boys growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In the 1950s, Dad explained to me that “Fred” was a transliteration of the “German name” of Fritz and that I shouldn’t say that Fred was not his real name. I don’t mind if people use whatever name they prefer to use to refer to the best-known resident of the Galilean town of Nazareth. Maybe I shouldn’t admit to being disgusted by people who say or imply that Jesus isn’t his real name or who use their favorite (supposedly Hebrew) pronunciation of his name as a sort of code to identify their particular in-group. My annoyance, however, sometimes goes beyond merely thinking of such people as using a modern-day equivalent of saying long prayers or taking great pride in the prominent display of phylacteries.

Interestingly, the way Latin renders the Name, Iesus (Yeh-soos) or Iezus (Yeh-zoos), is in the 4th Declension instead of the 2nd Declension; the result is that the cases use more long or reiterated U (pronounced 'oo') sounds, which could be how the Romans interpreted the gutteral sound of Hebrew (considering that St Jerome knew Hebrew and Aramaic himself, I wouldn't be surprised); this is in contrast to the 2nd Declension, in which the cases take forms with i and o. Example: Jezus in the Genitive looks like Jezūs, indicating a more drawn out sound. If it were 2nd Dec, it would be Jezī. So clearly there was some aspect of the Name that Romans felt necessitated the 4th Declension.
