Jeshurun ( Yəšurūn) is a poetic name for Israel used in the Hebrew Bible.
== Etymology == A hypocoristicon of the name Israel (יִשְׂרָאֵל Yiśrāʾēl). The vocalization of this name reflects the Phoenician Shift, so may be reborrowed from a dialect spoken by non-Israelite Canaanite speakers. From the Hebrew root י-שׂ-ר (*י-שׁ-ר in Phoenician) with hypocoristic suffix ון- replacing אֵל 'God'.
