Did you know?

  • The standard Tamil name இயேசு traces its roots back through Ancient Greek Ἰησοῦς and Biblical Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ.
  • In certain Tamil spiritual contexts, the word ஈசா can carry a much broader meaning than just a specific person, often referring to a supreme deity or lord.
  • In some Tamil dialects, the pronunciation of இயேசு can shift the final 'u' sound to be almost silent, unlike the distinct vowel in English.

    Iyesu oru punithānamavar.
