Dictionary of Biblical Words:
This name, which is now above every name, (Phil. 2.) is the personal name of Christ as man. Christ is the official title. It means Jehovah, the Saviour, Joshua being the Hebrew form of it. It is well to notice that this very name shows that the object of Christ in becoming man was not merely to give us a perfect example, but to become our Saviour, a truth now frequently ignored.
Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(saviour). (1) Greek form of Joshua, Jeshua, contraction of Jehoshua (Num. 13:16; Acts 7:45). (2) Justus, Paul’s friend (Col. 4:11).
