In this video, we trace the linguistic evolution of Jesus’s name, from its original Hebrew form "Yeshua" to the name known and revered across the globe today. Discover how linguistic phenomena such as "transliteration" (adapting a name from one language script to another), "phonological shift" (changes in pronunciation over time), and "language borrowing" (adoption of words or names across languages) played a role in this transition.

We delve into the historical journey from Hebrew to Greek (Iēsous) and then to Latin and English, exploring how each language added its unique influence. Along the way, we uncover the cultural and linguistic contexts that shaped this transformation, making Jesus’s name recognizable to billions.

Join us for this captivating exploration of faith, history, and linguistics, as we connect ancient languages with a name that transcends time and geography. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more insights into the profound intersections of language and spirituality!
