Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,

Yusha' is not an Arabic word, for this reason it doesn't have Arabic root letters. It is a Hebrew word. Yusha' is the Arabic way of referring to the Biblical character known as Joshua in English. The meaning of Yusha'/Joshua is "God is salvation", which is a good meaning, therefore Muslims can use this name.
