I have been studying Biblical Hebrew…
The Hebrew name for Jesus is: Yeshua, which means “He who saves.”
Matthew 1
[19] Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
[20] But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
[21] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Yeshua HaMashiach – means “Jesus, the Messiah.”
* * * * *
Hosanna – means “please save” or “save now.”
* * * * *
Beth – means House
Lehem – means bread
Bethlehem is the “House of Bread.”
John 6
[32] Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
[33] For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
[34] Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
[35] And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Hallelujah, Halleluyah, or Alleluia
Halleluyah is a Hebrew word meaning “praise the Lord.” A more literal meaning is “Let us praise the Lord.”
It appears in the Bible mainly in the Psalms but also in Revelations 19.
Halleluyah is composed of two root words.
Hallelu is praise.
Yah is the the Lord. It is actually an abbreviation of YHWH which is the Hebrew name of God. The English equivalent of YHWH is Yahweh or Jehovah.
