What does the name Isa mean?

1.) The masculine first name Isa (عيسى) is an Arabic form of Jesus, which originally derives from Yĕhōšúa (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ). Translated into German, it means 'Yahweh is help' or 'Yahweh is salvation.' The origin lies in the two ancient Hebrew words yeho (יְהוֹ) for 'Yahweh,' 'Hebrew name for God,' and yasha' (יָשַׁע) for 'to help,' 'to save,' 'to deliver.' Isa is also a Frisian short form of Old High German/Germanic names that start with the element 'Is-.' The meaning then becomes 'the icy one' or 'the iron one' or 'the one who wields iron.' The origin lies in the Old High German words is for 'ice' or isan, isarn, or isen for 'iron,' 'armor.' Furthermore, Isa is seen as a shortened variant of the names Isaiah ('God is salvation') or Isaac ('God has laughed'). 2.) The feminine name Isa is a short form of Isabella, a variant of the biblical name Elizabeth, which in turn derives from Elisheva or Elischeba. Directly translated, it means 'God is my oath' and 'God is abundance.' The roots lie in ancient Hebrew, derived from the original expression ʾĕlı̂ysheba' (אֱלִישֶׁבַע), which consists of the two components ʾēl (אֵל) for 'God' and shéva' or shava' (שֶׁבַע) for 'oath,' 'sworn,' or 'seven' (the number of abundance). Sometimes the name is also given as a short form of Isolde, Elisa, or Luisa. The name is considered the Muslim designation for Jesus (in the Quran). The first letter is emphasized with the Arabic letter 'âin,' and the 's' is a sharp 's.' Hence, the possible spelling: Îssa. The Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) is mentioned in the Qur'an as Îssa, the son of Maryam (German = Maria). Other variants include Essa, Eissa, Eesa, Eisa, Issa, and Arabic Christians often say Yasu. In Sanskrit, the name means 'the ruler,' derived from īś (ईश) for 'lord,' 'husband,' 'God,' and 'deity.' In Persian, Isa is a variant of Izzat ('glory, respect, honor').
