Why is this name spelled with a 'j'?

can anyone tell me why this word is spelled with a J? Kljenni 23:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why not? So do Jesus and Jehovah. It is common in transliteration to change י (yod) to "j". In many European languages "j" still retains a 'y' sound. Khirad 14:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

American Culture

Jehoshaphat was a king of Judah. I wonder the name seems famous in American culture which is why his name is occaisionally mentoned? 124.107.237.135 07:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, this may seem trivial, like a joke, but shouldn't some mention be made on the origins of the American expression "jumpin' Jehosaphat"? I agree with anonymous user. Put something in on the origin of this historical phrase. Khirad 14:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
