Jeush

Origin

The name 'Jeush' (also spelled 'Jeush' or 'Jeuash') originates from the Hebrew Bible, where Jeush was a son of King Jehoiakim of Judah, mentioned in 2 Kings 24:15. The name is derived from the Hebrew question word 'ye' (meaning 'whom') combined with 'ush' (possibly related to 'fire' or 'flame'), translating roughly to 'Whom is God?' or 'Whom the Lord Is'. It appears in ancient Semitic texts and has been adopted historically in Judaic traditions. In the Australian context, the name is rare and primarily found among communities with Jewish heritage.

Meaning

Literal translation is 'Whom is God?' in Hebrew, denoting a rhetorical or inquisitive pose of faith or identity. In Australian English, it carries a biblical and historical nuance, often associated with strength of faith or tradition.

Pronunciation

'dʒeʊʃ' (Australian English) — with stress on the first syllable, consistent with Hebrew pronunciation adaptations; sounds like 'Jeh-ush'. — ɟeʊʃ, with a soft 'J' sounding like the 'j' in 'judge'.
