Iésous - 2424 Iēsoús – Jesus, the transliteration of the Hebrew term, 3091 /Lṓt ("Yehoshua"/Jehoshua, contracted to "Joshua") which means "Yahweh saves" (or "Yahweh is salvation"). [http://biblehub.com/greek/2424.htm]

Technically this definition is not true.

The contracted form of Yehoshua IS Yeshua. The long form of the name means 'YHWH Saves'. The contracted form, Yeshua, Joshua, means 'salvation'.

And DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis is correct.

>>Technically this definition is not true.<<

You would have to take that up with Strong, Thayer, NASEC, and others. They are the experts I quoted. I'm not sure where you get your information.
