Yahshua means "Yah's Salvation.
His name means "he will save", not "Yah will save" or "Yah's salvation".
Matthew 1:21 - "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Yeshua: for he shall save his people from their sins."
The "he" in this verse refers to the antecedent Yeshua, not YHWH. According to Strong’s Concordance, Jeshua (Yeshua) means “he will save”.

The Masoretic text uses seven different variations of the Name in order to hide the true pronunciation.

יְהוָֹה - Y'howah (ē - ĕ - hō - wä), example found in Genesis 3:14

יְהוָה - Y'hwah (ē - ĕ - wä), example found in Genesis 2:4

יֱהוִֹה - Yehowih (ē - ĕ - hō - wĭ), example found in Judges 16:28

יֱהוִה - Yehwih (ē - ĕ - wĭ), example found in Genesis 15:2

יְהוִֹה - Y'howih (ē - ĕ - hō - wĭ), example found in 1 Kings 2:26

יְהוִה - Y'hwih (ē - ĕ - wĭ), example found in Ezekiel 24:24

יֲהוָה - Yahwah (ē - ă - wä), example found in Psalms 144:15


As you can see, the last one is "Yahwah". However, we do not see "Yahweh". Why use "Yahwah" if they are attempting to conceal the Name?

Yahshua is spelled Yothe He Shin Ayin. Which English letter in "Yahshua" represents the Waw? Correctly transliterated into English, Yothe He Waw Shin Ayin would be Yahoshua or Yahushua. However, neither Yahshua, nor Yahoshua are the Son's name. If anything, that would be the son of Nun's name.

Yah does not mean "He will." Translated "Yah" means "Life." From the Aramaic, not Hebrew.

I agree that "Yah" does not mean "He will". "Yeshua" means "He will save". That is why the Messiah's name does not begin with "Yah". His name must mean "He will save".

Strong's

For H3091; he will save; Jeshua, the name of two Israelites, also of a place in Palestine: - Jeshua.

Yahwah is Aramaic for "Life Began." There is no vowel in the middle. Hebrew did not have an e vowel until about 600 AD.
Please cite a reference for "Yahwah" being Aramaic and meaning "Life Began". Also, why are you using Aramaic if the Tetragrammaton is Hebrew?

#3397 in the image above has the Waw transliterated as "o" in "Yehoshua". Why does your variation "Yahshua" not transliterate the Waw?
Because some scholars add to many vowels to a word.

Aramaic and Hebrew are from the Proto-Semitic. Hebrew diverged from the Aramaic and became its own language. If you can not read the pics that I posted, then there is nothing more that I can do for you.

Yah.


Exodus 23:21. Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him.

Yah is the short form of God’s personal name Yahwah, used about fifty time in the Old Testament.

Yah-wah / Yah-shua


Psalm 68:4. Sing to Elohiym, sing praise to His name, extol Him who rides on the clouds His name is Yah and rejoice before Him.
John 5:43. I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

The best evidence is that his proper name was "y'shua". But Galileans always dropped their 'ayins', hence "y'shu" for which in the talmud many Jewish people use as an acronym meaning “may his name be blotted out”.

The name Jesus is an unknown word that was invented. In the NIV Exhaustive Concordance you will find the name Joshua along with the name Jesus. In English the name Joshua is pronounced Jah/ shoo/ ah. We do know as a matter of fact that “Jah” is for “Yah” in Hebrew and English.

The assignment of the vowels in Hebrew are arbitrary, in order to hide his real name. This is also true of God’s own personal name which is Yahwah.

The Orthodox Jews believe that it is their duty to conceal God’s personal name from the public.

So if you wish to use the Messiah’s real name in English that would be “Yahshua.”

Numbers 13:16 (Moses gave Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.)

Why did Moses give Hosea the name Joshua? (Yahshua)


I come in the name of Yahwah.


Psalm 118:26

Blessed is he who comes in the name of (the Lord / Yahwah.) From the house of (the Lord / Yahwah) we bless you.


Matthew 23:39

For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of (the Lord / Yahwah.)’”


Luke 13:35

Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of (the Lord / Yahwah.)’”

Yahwah
A note on the words hawah and hayah.
Quote from pages 217 and 218 of the Brown-Driver-Briggs. Ref # 3068-69, on page 217.


Brown-Driver-Briggs on page 218 states that, Quote: "Many recent scholars explain יהוה‎ as Hiph. of הוה equals היה "

הוה hawah. HWH is hawah.
היה hayah. HYH is hayah.
Note that the vowels are " a."
יהוה Yahwah


The vowels are "a" in the Brown-Driver-Briggs, also in the NIV Exhaustive Concordance, and the Strong's Exhaustive Concordances.


Yahwah reveals His name to Moses
Exodus 3:13-15.
13 And Moses said to Elohiym, “Suppose I go to the siblings of the Israelites and say to them, 'The Elohiym of your forefathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?”
14 And Elohiym said to Moses, “The Living that Lives. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'The Living has sent me to you.”
15 And Elohiym also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, 'Yahwah, the Elohiym of your forefathers; the Elohiym of Abraham, the Elohiym of Isaac and the Elohiym of Jacob has sent me to you.' That’s my name forever, the name by which I’m to be remembered, from generation to generation.”



During the Babylonian captivity the Hebrew language spoken by the Jews was replaced by the Aramaic language of their Babylonian captors. Aramaic was closely related to Hebrew, and while sharing many vocabulary words in common, they contained some words that sounded the same or similar but had other meanings.
In Aramaic, the Hebrew word for “blaspheme” used in Leviticus 24:16, “Anyone who blasphemes the name of Yahwah must be put to death” began to be interpreted as “pronounce” rather than “blaspheme”. When the Jews began speaking Aramaic, this verse was misunderstood to mean, “Anyone who pronounces the name of Yahwah must be put to death.” Since then observant Jews have maintained the custom of not pronouncing the name. This also lead to some believing that God's name is not pronounceable.


Holman Christian Standard Bible

Jeremiah 23:27.
Through their dreams that they tell one another, they make plans to cause My people to forget My name as their fathers forgot My name through Baal worship.


My translation
Through their imaginings that they tell each other, they made plans to cause my people to forget my name, like their forefathers forgot my name through Baal worship.

Some Biblical theophoric names end in ia(h) or yah as shortened forms of Yahwah: That points to the vowels being "a".

Pronouncing the Name of God
Nothing in the Bible prohibits a person from pronouncing the name of God. It is evident from scripture that God's name was pronounced routinely. Many common Hebrew names contain "Yah" and "ia(h)" parts of God's name. For an example the name Jeremiah ends in "ah." The Name Yahwah was pronounced as part of daily services in the Temple.

There is no prohibition against pronouncing the name in ancient times. As a matter of fact, the Mishnah recommends using God's name as a routine greeting to a fellow Jews. Berakhot 9:5.
However, in the time of the Talmud, it was the custom to use substitute names for God. Some rabbis asserted that a person who pronounces Yahwah according to its letters (instead of using a substitute) has no place in the world to come, and should be put to death for pronouncing the name.


After killing Hebrew Christians, the Jews would take the New testament scripture written in Hebrew, and carefully cut the name of God out. Then they would place the divine name in a safe place to keep. Following that, they then would burn the remainder of the scrolls in a fire. Rabbi Yose who lived during the second century AD states that, Quote: "One cuts out the reference to the divine name which are in them [the Christian writings] and stores them away, and the rest burns." One of his characteristic sayings is, "He who proclaimed the coming of the Messiah, [John] and he who hated scholars and their disciples; [Yahshua] and that false prophet and those slanderers, will have no part in the future world."
According to Wilhelm Bacher this was directed against the Hebrew Christians.

Wilhelm Bacher en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Bacher

Note: The person who proclaimed the coming was John the Baptist, and it was Yahshua who spoke against the scholars of the law. The scholars were the scribes or Pharisees.

And so it is an established fact, the disciples of Yahshua did write the holy name of God into the New Testament.





Honor His Name
For thousands of years the refusing to use a person's name has been a direct form of dishonor. Shortening the name, replacing the name, distorting the name, all are signs of dishonor.


Honorable Mention
An “honorable mention” is a title of distinction given to a person worthy of mention. Upon honoring the person their name is mentioned, so their name has a place of honor known among the people.

They are not adding a vowel. The Waw is in the name, but you refuse to put it in "Yahshua" to yield "Yahoshua" (not that "Yahoshua" is the Messiah's name, but the name of the son of Nun).

The name Yahshua translated means (Yah's Salvation,) or (Life's Salvation.)
I agree "Yahshua" means "Yah's Salvation" although "Yahoshua" is more correct. I disagree that Yahshua is his name. I used to use that variation until I studied the issue more deeply and saw how they do not transliterate the Waw and when I realized his name means "he will save" (Matthew 1:21).

יְהוָֹה - Y'howah (ē - ĕ - hō - wä), example found in Genesis 3:14

יְהוָה - Y'hwah (ē - ĕ - wä), example found in Genesis 2:4

יֱהוִה - Yehwih (ē - ĕ - wĭ), example found in Genesis 15:2

יְהוִֹה - Y'howih (ē - ĕ - hō - wĭ), example found in 1 Kings 2:26

יְהוִה - Y'hwih (ē - ĕ - wĭ), example found in Ezekiel 24:24

יֲהוָה - Yahwah (ē - ă - wä), example found in Psalms 144:15

What does that matter? Why would the Masorets choose to vowel point one variation as Yahwah if the ancient Hebrew pronunciation is Yahwah? That is not concealing the Name.
