no less

[angelsrolls]

Hello,

Two people are talking about someone named Issa (Muslim name for Jesus). Following is the dialogue:

A: Issa Karpov. A Muslim first name and a Russian last name. What does that tell us?
B: That the boy is confused.
A: And no patronymic. Is he the son of nobody?
B: Issa... Jesus no less.

What does "no less" mean here?

Thanks for the answers
