Eissa ? Background on this name anyone?

We just saw that [name_f]Janet[/name_f] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m]'s baby named Eissa [name_m]Al[/name_m] Mana and can’t find much on the meaning or background. Does anyone have any info. on this unique name?

From everything I’ve read it’s an Arabic form of [name_m]Jesus[/name_m]/Joshua, means “God is salvation” and can also be spelled [name_u]Isa[/name_u].

Like @pansy I thought it was another spelling of [name_u]Isa[/name_u], the Arabic form of [name_m]Jesus[/name_m].

Eissa - This name is an Arabic form of [name_m]Jesus[/name_m]. Its a meaningful name…

Saw first photo of Eissa on the Today Show this morning! Beautiful baby, beautiful name! http://www.janetjackson.com/news/all/message-from-janet-apr14#.WPJKm4WcGUn
