Jessús Origin and Meaning

The name Jessús is a boy's name.

Jessús is a masculine name that represents a variant spelling of Jesús, the Spanish form of Jesus. The name derives from the Greek Iēsous, which came from the Hebrew name Yeshua, meaning 'to deliver' or 'to rescue.' The uncommon spelling with a double 's' creates a distinctive visual impression while maintaining the traditional pronunciation. While Jesús is widely used in Spanish-speaking countries as a given name, this specific variant is quite rare. The name carries profound religious significance for Christian communities, particularly in Hispanic cultures where naming children Jesús has been a long-standing tradition expressing devotion. This variant might appeal to parents seeking to honor this tradition while adding an orthographic distinction.
