From day one, little Joushua is destined to be a protector, always striving to keep loved ones close and safe. Joushua is rooted in the biblical stories of Exodus and the Book of Joshua, where Joshua was the trusted leader chosen by Moses to guide the Israelites to the Promised Land. This name is derived from the Late Latin Jeshua and the Hebrew Yehoshua, meaning "The Lord is salvation" or "God is my salvation." It comes from the Hebrew roots yeho, referring to the Hebrew God, and yasha, meaning "to save." With these altruistic notions in mind, your little Joushua is likely to grow beyond their tiny baby shoes over time and step confidently into the brave role of a guardian to those around them.
