Origin of the name Jesus
The name Jesus comes from the Hebrew "JHVH", called the ineffable tetragram, meaning the "Eternity of God", because HVH is the Hebrew infinitive of the verb to be, and the prefix J, transposes the Hebrew verbs to the future. In Aramaic, the current language of Palestine, which gave rise to several languages spoken to this day, the term "Jeshua Hamashia" means Jesus Christ the Messiah, and is found in the New Testament with the spelling "Yeshu ha Notzri". In Portuguese, the name "Yahweh", or "Jehovah", has the same meaning as "the Eternity of God".
The monogram "JSH", Jesus the Savior of Men, from the Greek "IHSUS", appears in the gospels of the apostles Mark and Luke. The Latin form "Jesus Hominibus Salvatoren" (IHS) was created in the 15th century and adopted by St. Ignatius of Loyola as an emblem of the Society of Jesus and is today one of the symbols of the Catholic Church.
"IXOYE" is an acrostic meaning Jesus Christ, Son of God the Savior, originating from the initials of Greek words.
