Could someone please tell me the translation of the first name of Giosue. I've heard it could be Joshua or Joe but not sure.

Re: Giosue Translation
The name Giosuè derives from the Hebraic יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshùa), and means "God saves".
I would say that Joshua is the correct translation.

It is Joshua (or Jesus, which is the same name in Greek). Joe would be short for Joseph, which is Giuseppe in Italian.
Just to clarify: "Jesus" in Italian is Gesu'. It's just that the name Jesus itself was originally the Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua. The New Testament was written in Greek - Jesus would actually have been known as Joshua by other Jews.
