Yahshua Hamashiach

"Yahshua Hamashiach" is a term used in some Christian and Messianic Jewish circles to refer to Jesus Christ. "Yahshua" is a proposed transliteration of the original Hebrew or Aramaic name of Jesus, and "Hamashiach" means "the anointed one" or "the Messiah" in Hebrew. Therefore, "Yahshua Hamashiach" can be translated as "Jesus the Messiah" or "Jesus the Anointed One".
