ArchivesRe: Something interesting about the name Isa
in reply to a message by Ana
I don't know about Dvivehi, but Isa is certainly the Turkish and generally Muslim variant of Jesus.
Confirmed by those fairly accurate sites:

[A Muslim variant of Jesus might look like a contradiction, but actually Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet, though they consider him a minor one]
