Biography

Abdisho, ʾAbdisho, Abdishu, or ʿAbd Īshōʿ (Syriac: ܥܒܕܝܫܘܥ, Arabic: عبد يشوع) meaning 'servant of Jesus' in Syriac, is a masculine given name. The name is most predominantly used by Syriac Christians of West Asia, namely the Assyrians. The name is derived from the Syriac word "abd" (Syriac: ܥܒܕܐ, romanized: ˁaḇd, lit. 'servant') and the Aramaic name for Jesus, Isho (Syriac: ܝܼܫܘܿܥ, romanized: īšōˁ). Abdisho can also alternatively be spelled as Odisho, used as a surname.
