Jesusn.int.adj. Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Iesus. Etymology: < post-classical Latin Iesus (4th cent.) < Hellenistic Greek Ἰησοῦς (New Testament; already in the Septuagint as the Greek form of the name of the Israelite leader Joshua) < post-biblical Hebrew Yēšūăʿ , variant (with loss of intervocalic h and dissimilation of vowels) of biblical Hebrew Yĕhōšūăʿ Joshua, a frequent Jewish male personal name (explained as ‘God is salvation’: compare yĕšūʿāh ‘salvation, deliverance’ and Matthew 1:21 ‘Thou shalt call his Name Jesus: for hee shall saue his people from their sinnes.’ (King James Bible, 1611)). Compare Jesus Christ n.Compare Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French Jesu , Jhesu , Jesus , Jhesus , French Jésus (12th cent. or earlier), Spanish Jesús (c1200; also †Jhesu , †Jhesus , Jesu ), Portuguese Jesus (15th cent.; 13th cent. as Jesu ), Italian Gesù , †Jesu , †Jesus , †Jhesus (all 13th cent.), and also Old Dutch Iesus (Middle Dutch Jesus , Dutch Jezus ), Old Saxon Iesus , Iesu (Middle Low German Jesus ), Old High German Iesus (Middle High German Jesus , German Jesus ), Gothic Iesus , Iesu . Forms of the name from Old English to early modern English. In Old English, as in other West Germanic languages, frequently translated by healend n. and its equivalents, while the name itself chiefly occurs in contexts where its meaning is glossed or its etymology is discussed (compare quot. OE at sense A. 1). During the Middle English period regularly used in its Old French oblique case form Iesu , Jesu , whence the β. forms. The form Iesus , Jesus ( < the Latin nominative singular) is relatively rare in Middle English, but becomes the usual English form in the 16th cent. However, in Tyndale's translation of the New Testament (1525–34), the form Iesu is generally used where the Greek original has Ἰησοῦ , the Vulgate Iesu , in the vocative and oblique cases. This system is for the most part retained by Coverdale (1535), and in the Great Bible (1539), and also, in the vocative instances, in the Bishops' Bible (1568; but in representing the Greek oblique cases, this has Iesus ). Iesu is absent from the Geneva Bible (1557) (except in one place), and from the Douai-Rheims Bible (1582), and also from the King James Version of 1611. Jesu is frequent in the earlier forms of the Book of Common Prayer, and survives into later editions in one place; in later use it occurs in hymns, rarely in the subjective or objective, but frequently in the vocative. Specific forms. In Middle English the name is rarely written in full, being usually represented by the abbreviations ihu , and ihc , ihs , ihus , or iħu , etc., a form of abbreviation that is already attested in Old English (see IHS n.). These have commonly been expanded by modern editors as Ihesu , Ihesus , forms which occur occasionally in manuscripts and in early modern printed books. In Middle English also sometimes used with Latin case inflections; compare e.g.:c1175 Ormulum (Burchfield transcript) l. 12776 Iesum. Þatt mann kinn affterr ȝerneþþ..Himm hafe we nu fundenn.a1425 (a1325) Cursor Mundi (Galba) l. 27863 Werdes welth here to for-sake, And vnto Iesum crist þe take. Specific senses.
