Yeshua is the Aramaic version of The Name, Yehoshua is the Hebrew version.
"Jesus" was an effort to transliterate the name, which means to try to recreate the sounds of one language in the alphabet of another language.
There was no Y sound in Greek or Latin so they substituted an I sound.
Ises or Isas was a Greek goddess of healing so there is a similarity there in sound and meaning as well.
There was no "J" sound in English until quite late, I think about 1600's.
Yesha means "salvation" among other things such as deliverance....
If your name is Joe in English, would you become Giuseppe if you went to Italy? Not usually! Usually, your name remains your name however you say it.
There is a great deal to be learned as this subject is explored, as I began to do 22 years ago. ...and great blessing as well!
Yep, No J, V, U, or a Z in the 1911 King James Bible. IF I remember correctly.
