Yehoshua is a Hebrew surname that is presumably derived directly from the English transliteration of , which means roughly "YHWH rescues" or "YHWH is salvation".〔''A Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament'' Francis Brown, with S.R. Driver and C.A. Briggs, based on the lexicon of William Gesenius. Oxford: Clarendon Press. p. 221 & 446〕〔Blue Letter Bible. "Dictionary and Word Search for Yĕhowshuwa` (Strong's 03091)". Blue Letter Bible. 1996-2008. 16 Feb 2008. http://cf.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H3091〕 "Yehoshua" was also the Hebrew name for Joshua and has been used as a masculine given name. A common alternative form of the name ("Yehoshuah" - Joshua) in later books of the Hebrew Bible and among Jews of the Second Temple period is ''yēšūă‘''. This surname is sufficiently rare to apparently not appear in the United States Census of 1990.〔[http://names.mongabay.com/surnames_Y.htm Surnames [Last Names] Starting With "Y" in the United States]〕 This surname is shared by several notable people: * A. B.
