Isn't it Yesu, the diminutive, so Josh? "Josh is the name above all names", sounds kind of odd though.

- Cthulhu_ 2y agoOnly because of your own cultural background / upbringing where Josh was a pretty normal and non-reverent name, like how people like me one day realise there's a whole culture of people out there where Jesus is still a common and popular first name, instead of something reserved for a religious figure.
- galangalalgol 2y agoI live in one of those cultures and have several coworkers named Jesus. But some names have different associations. It is like "Todd, The Necromancer!" Vs "Evelyn the sorceress". Jesus is a serious and competent embedded c++ programmer. Josh is a goofy guy in accounting.
