Jerushah Origin and Meaning

The name Jerushah is a girl's name.

Jerushah is a feminine name of Hebrew origin derived from the biblical figure Jerusha, who was the wife of King Uzziah and mother of King Jotham in the Old Testament. The name means 'possession' or 'inheritance' in Hebrew. The spelling Jerushah, with the added 'h' at the end, gives the name a more elaborate and traditional biblical feel. While never common in mainstream use, the name carries strong religious significance for those connected to Judeo-Christian traditions. Jerushah offers parents seeking a biblical name something less frequently used than Sarah or Rebecca while still having authentic ancient roots. Its distinctive sound and spelling make it memorable without being difficult to pronounce.
