Joshua
Joshua is a name of Hebrew origins, primarily used by parents to name their boys. It is a biblical name, with several mentions in the books of the Holy Bible. It is also known as the name of the leader of the Israelites, who led after Moses' death and took them to Promised Land. In the Bible, Joshua was chosen to be the leader of the Twelve Tribes by God himself. As such, the meaning of Joshua is translated as 'God is my salvation’, according to its Hebrew origins. Some notable public figures have been known to have this name, such as the Canadian-American actor Joshua Carter Jackson and Joshua Reynolds, one of the most talented landscape artists from the 18th century.

Lucky
Joshua lucky number is 2.
Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
