Jesus Hernandez

(male) (Spanish) Religious name bestowed as a token of Christian faith. Jesus ‘saviour’ is an Aramaic form of the earlier Hebrew name Joshua.

Spanish (Hernández) and Jewish (Sephardic): patronymic from the personal name Hernando (see Fernando). This surname also became established in southern Italy, mainly in Naples and Palermo, since the period of Spanish dominance there, and as a result of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain and Portugal at the end of the 15th century, many of whom moved to Italy.
