Isa (Arabic: عِيسَى, romanized: ʿĪsā) is a Classical Arabic name which is the name given to Jesus in the Quran and other Islamic texts.
The name Eesa (إيساء) or Isa in Arabic can also be interpreted as meaning “God is salvation” or “God’s gift”. It is derived from the root word “Esa” (إيس) which carries the connotation of salvation or gift from God.
While its most common association is with the religious context, its meaning outside of this is generally linked to divine blessings, salvation, and gifts from God.
