It's not appropriate to call jewish rabbis by their private names (Judah haNasi or just Judah). The common and right form is saying Rabbi Judah haNasi.

[edit] Jesus Christ?!

I don't know, maybe this is just a really crazy coincidence, but I've seen Jesus' name in the Hebrew (one version) translate as "Yeshua Ha-Nasi (or Ha-Notsri/Ha-Nozri/Ha-Nosri)", so

Yeshua Ha-Nosri

Judah haNasi

Also, "Yeshua" is an old form of "Joshua". If anyone can tell me if I'm really wrong, and it's just a really weird coincidence (probably is, but...), please tell me. I'm at WAS 03:24, 6 January 2006 (UTC).

Jesus is mentioned as Yeshua Ha-Nostri in the surreal novel 'The Master and Margherita' by Mikhail Bulgarkov, written in the 1930s.

There's no connection, coincidental or otherwise. "ha-Nasi" means "the prince", so it could be applied to any number of individuals. Jesus' appellation "ha-Nosri" (really, "ha-Notzri") means simply "from Nazareth". the two phrases don't sound particularly similar in Hebrew . Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 16:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Judah = Yehudah
