While Christianity began in first-century Israel, it quickly spread around the known world. Today, there are approximately 2,180,000,000 Christians living in every country in the world. Around 6,500 languages are spoken in the world today.
One of the most popular articles on GodWords is What Does Jesus Mean?. The article gets a lot of comments requesting the meaning of Bible names, so I thought it was time to begin a list of Jesus’ name in different languages. This list will probably never be complete, but people have been asking for it anyway.
If you speak in languages other than English and have an addition or correction, please send me a message using the form at the bottom of this page.

Not sure where you got the Hebrew version but it is incorrect. You have Elohim where it should be Yeshu (ישו)
William:
I got it from Google Translate. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I’ve updated it to reflect how Hebrew-speaking Christians in would say it. Let me know if you think it’s incorrect. Have a great day!
