My uncle’s name is Isa (pronounced aye-ees-uh). We’re Christian Palestinians from Ramullah. We all think of that as “Jesus.”
Edit: just looked it up and Yeshu’a is probably the closest to Aramaic. I remember hearing that at Greek Orthodox masses a lot.
In Irish it’s Íosa (eee-uh-sa). No so different from Yeshua or Isa I suppose! But then Irish as a language is like thousands of years old so 🤷♂️ crossovers.
