The Story of Esaias
Esaias is the Greek and Latin form of the Hebrew name Yeshayahu, meaning God is salvation or Yahweh is salvation. It is the form of the name Isaiah used in the Septuagint (the Greek Old Testament) and the Vulgate (the Latin Bible). As such, it has been used throughout Christian Europe wherever Latin or Greek scriptures were standard.
Esaias enjoyed use in Scandinavia, Germany, and among Puritans in England and America during the 16th-18th centuries when biblical names in their classical Latin/Greek forms were common. It has seen modest revival as parents seek distinctive alternatives to the very popular Isaiah.
Isaiah/Esaias is one of the Major Prophets of the Hebrew Bible, and the Book of Isaiah is one of the most quoted in the New Testament. The name carries enormous religious weight across Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions.
