How to Say “Joshua” in Latin

By •
Iosūe
masculine
The English name Joshua is translated into Latin as Iosūe.
Iosūe is a masculine given name used to represent the name Joshua.
Meaning: male given name (name)

Did you know?

  • The name Iosūe shares the same linguistic root as the name Iēsus, making the figures of Joshua and Jesus etymological cousins.
  • Early Latin writers often struggled with the Hebrew 'sh' sound, which is why Iosūe uses an 's' instead of a sound like 'sh'.
  • In many medieval Latin manuscripts, the letter 'J' was not used, which is why the name begins with an 'I' in Iosūe.

Examples in context

  • Iosūe est nomen viri.
    Joshua is the name of the man.
  • Hic puer vocatur Iosūe.
    This boy is called Joshua.
  • Iosūe amicus meus est.
    Joshua is my friend.
