Etymology
From, of uncertain precise origins, but eventually from. Among the clergy and townsfolk it was probably replaced with Italo-Romance fairly early on. In some areas, however, it appears to have survived for very long. still gives for “Dominus noster Iesus”, although for him this use is chiefly that of the “Saracens”, whereas the name properly refers to Joshua (it and Jesus going back to the same Hebrew form). In line with the general absence of Christian Arabic names in Maltese, there seems to be no trace of the proper Christian form, unless it were perhaps found in the expression.
