Pronunciation Proper noun @@ Jesus Declension m.stem:Jesú.acc-:m[archaic or Biblical].dat+gen- Note: this declension, highly irregular and unique in Icelandic, is taken directly from the Latin declension (see the Latin entry la Iēsūs).

The exceptional use of Jesús as a first given name in Spanish-speaking countries contrasts with other historically Catholic or otherwise Christian societies. It has been linked to the widespread use of the name ar مُحَمَّد Muhammad by Muslims, whose custom would have induced their Christian peers to do something comparable en https://aleteia.org/2024/01/05/a-look-at-the-name-jesus-across-cultures-and-time/ A look at the name “Jesus” across cultures and time Aleteia 01/05/2024 Daniel Esparza "Still others suggest that Spanish Christians living alongside Muslim communities were influenced by the Islamic tradition of honoring the Prophet Muhammad by naming their sons." https://web.archive.org/web/20250807065413/https://aleteia.org/2024/01/05/a-look-at-the-name-jesus-across-cultures-and-time/ 07/08/2025en https://english.katholisch.de/artikel/50023-why-almost-nobody-is-called-jesus-except-in-spanish-speaking-countries Why (almost) nobody is called Jesus – except in Spanish-speaking countries Katholisch 03/01/2024 Matthias Altmann and Madeleine Spendier "And a third hypothesis is that the Christians on the Iberian Peninsula were used to their Muslim contemporaries naming their sons after the Prophet Mohammed.

One of them has its origins in the fact that in the 14th and 15th centuries, the mendicant orders such as the Franciscans and Dominicans, and later the Jesuits, led to a surge in the veneration of the name Jesus. On the Iberian Peninsula, especially in Spain, the veneration of the name of Jesus was particularly intense - thus Jesus developed into a common first name for boys." https://web.archive.org/web/20250514171214/https://english.katholisch.de/artikel/50023-why-almost-nobody-is-called-jesus-except-in-spanish-speaking-countries 2025/05/14 and the Spanish custom of using religious names for orphaned children in Catholic institutions, their names being passed on to their descendants.en https://aleteia.org/2024/01/05/a-look-at-the-name-jesus-across-cultures-and-time/ A look at the name “Jesus” across cultures and time Aleteia 2024/05/01 Daniel Esparza "Others refer to the common practice (at least in Spain) of naming abandoned children found in convents “Jesus,” giving the name connotations of compassion and second chances." https://web.archive.org/web/20250807065413/https://aleteia.org/2024/01/05/a-look-at-the-name-jesus-across-cultures-and-time/ 2025/08/07 en https://english.katholisch.de/artikel/50023-why-almost-nobody-is-called-jesus-except-in-spanish-speaking-countries Why (almost) nobody is called Jesus – except in Spanish-speaking countries Katholisch 2024/01/03 Matthias Altmann and Madeleine Spendier "According to [Mariano] Delgado [Professor of Medieval and Modern Church History at the University of Freiburg in Switzerland], a second hypothesis is that it was precisely in Spain that the custom developed of giving the name Jesus to foundlings abandoned at monastery doors.

It was only in the late 19th century that the name Jesús was popularised in Spain,en https://reason.com/volokh/2019/10/19/jesus-told-me-the-answer/ Jesus Told Me the Answer Reason 10/19/2025 Eugene Volokh " ’Jesús‘ became a relatively common name in Spain in the late [19th century], at the time when there was a strong revival of militant Catholicism as a reaction to secularization forces from the left-wing." https://web.archive.org/web/20250124094449/https://reason.com/volokh/2019/10/19/jesus-told-me-the-answer/ 24/01/2025 appearing on registers just five times in 1800-1820, but 576 times in 1880-1900, with similar results for Mexico, where it was first recorded in 1852. Hence, the use of the name Jesús is likely attributable to the reaction of some militant Catholic forces to the efforts towards secularisation and to the anticlericalism prevalent in the period.
