Also means safety, victory and who's help is Jehovah or it may be from the verb "Yasha", "to save," and = Jehovah Savior, or simply Savior; a late form of Hebrew "yehosua", the Jesus means of which is "YHWH is salvation" or "YHWH saves/has saved." Online definition of "savior." Latin term drove out Old English "hæland" which means "healer" as the preferred descriptive term for Jesus.
