What does the name of Jesus mean?

The most popular and widely recognized name for Jesus is "Jesus Christ" and is used globally in Christian tradition. 
The name Jesus comes from the Hebrew name Yeshua (or Joshua in English), which means "Yahweh is salvation" or "The Lord saves."

In the Hebrew Bible
, YHWH is the name of God, and salvation refers to the act of being saved or delivered, particularly from sin and spiritual death.
In Christianity, this name reflects Jesus' role as the Savior, who offers salvation and eternal life to all who believe in him through his life, death, and resurrection.
