That's why some crosses have "INRI" written: Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum

The name "Jesus" comes from the Greek Iēsous, which is a transliteration of the Hebrew name Yeshua (or sometimes the longer form, Yehoshua), meaning "Yahweh saves."

“Yahweh saves.”

... so Jesus is basically "God Saves" so "Jesus Saves" is just "God Saves Saves"?
