The
pentagrammaton () or
Yahshuah () is a constructed form of the
Hebrew name of
Jesus originally found in the works of
Athanasius Kirchner,
Johann Baptist Grossschedel (1619) and other late Renaissance
esoteric sources. It is to be distinguished from the name
Yahshua found in the works of the Sacred Name movement in the 1960s, though there has been some conflation or confusion between the two. The pentagrammaton Yahshuah has no support in archeological findings, such as the
Dead Sea scrolls or inscriptions, nor in rabbinical texts as a form of Joshua. Scholarship generally considers the original form of Jesus to be
Yeshua, a Hebrew Bible form of Joshua.
