Joshua Number Plates

Joshua is a given name derived from the Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁעַ‎, prominently belonging to Joshua, an early Hebrew leader of the Exodus period who has a major role in several books of the Bible. In later periods, a common alternative form of the name was Yeshua which corresponds to the Greek spelling Ἰησοῦς (Iesous), from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus. As a result of the origin of the name, a majority of people before the 17th century who have this name were Jewish. A variant, truncated form of the name, Josh, gained popularity in the United States in the 1920s. Joshua was the 50th most popular boys' name in England and Wales in 2024, with 1,027 newborns registered (Office for National Statistics). In Scotland it ranked 60th in 2024 (National Records of Scotland). In Northern Ireland it ranked 63rd in 2024 (NISRA). NewReg currently lists 405 number plates spelling Joshua, with prices from £250.
