Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for Jesaja, with forms such as "ejsaja", "jeasja", and "jesaaj". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "jaja", since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct German form is Jesaja, spelled J-E-S-A-J-A.
