Is the name Joshua Haram in Islam?

Question

that my name i need to know...lol

Answer 1

I believe the Arab version of Joshua is Issa. So the answer would be no. I think.

Answer 2

I wish it were..........you could be famous for doing nothing instead of being nothing for doing something!

Answer 3

It is of Hebrew origin, meaning salvation. It is actually very similar to how you would pronounce Jesus' name in Hebrew.

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

Why would a name be haram? Are you trying to poke fun against the religion? Dude, stop it.

Answer 6

Joshua is a Jewish name, and Aramaic. So could be in Islam, but would have a different pronunciation. Haram, is in Islam, but you would not name someone that

Answer 7

joshua=yeshua=eesu=esau=jesus=Isa ( or pronounce Eesa in Arabic )

Answer 8

that's silly. why would that be?

if islam would appeared in america, you would maybe think arabic names were haram.

Answer 9

No. Besides, even if it was, would you change it? Don't change your name for something trivial like that. Your name is part of your identity.

Answer 10

Why?
