From the Hebrew name הוֹשֵׁעַ (Hoshe’a) meaning “salvation”, from the root יָשַׁע (yasha’). In the Old Testament at Numbers 13:16, Moses gives the spy Hoshea the new name Yehoshu’a (see Joshua), which has a related origin. This name was also borne by an 8th-century BC king of Israel, who was the last ruler of that state before it was conquered by Assyria.
People with the name Jereth have a deep inner desire to use their abilities in leadership, and to have personal independence. They would rather focus on large, important issues, and delegate the details.
