Joshua

Joshua is a masculine name of Hebrew origin. Deriving from the Hebrew title Yehoshuaʿ, Joshua means "Yahweh is salvation," reminding your little one to trust in their faith and its promises of renewal, redemption, and hope. In the Hebrew Bible, Joshua is the title given to the companion of Moses who later succeeded him as leader of the Israelites. Though it undoubtedly holds much religious significance, Joshua's high rank in the charts points toward its universal appeal. For The Bump community member nugget0411, Joshua's best trait is its multitude of nickname options, "I love Joshua! It's a very strong name, but it has great nicknames as well, like Josh or Joshy. I like JJ too." Whether your Joshua will become a Josh, Joshy, or JJ will be determined once you meet and get to know them.
