Meaning of Isa
Isa, also spelled Eisa or Eesa, is the Arabic name for the prophet Jesus, son of Mary. Isa is not an Arabic name, rather, it is ancient Hebrew and means “God is salvation”. Isa is a good name and is a direct Quranic name for boys (mentioned 25 times in the Quran).
Muslims can also use the spelling Jesus (and its variants) if they so wish.
