'Yeso', pronounced “yesho” is the name of the character commonly known as Esau, son of Isaac. The name 'yeso' appears to be a pun based on the word yesi meaning complete, referring to the fact that Esau was completely covered in hair.

'Yeso' was also known by another nickname. His nickname was 'adom', which appears to be some kind of pun based on the word adem, and probably means something to the effect of “red man”. Genesis 25 and 27 appear to make extensive use of punning in two stories about this character.
