Isaiah

Isaiah means 'Yah saves', from the same root as the name Joshua/Jesus. Greek Ēsaḯas lost the Hebrew consonants, and later translators put some of them back: Isaiah in English, Jesaja in German, Swedish and Dutch, and from the Dutch Bible Indonesian Yesaya. Yiddish made it Shaye, Spanish Isaías and Hawaiian Ikaia.
