Jesus spoke Aramaic. Thus, the New Testament would have to be dependent upon it. Much of the Old Testament was in Aramaic as well, and the earliest Christian societies throughout Arabia from Palestine, to Syria, to Nabataea spoke Aramaic. So what is Jesus' name in Aramaic?
"Eesho M'sheekha" meaning "Jesus the Messiah".
- Syriac. Syriac is a late variant of Aramaic widespread in Christendom, thus coined "Christian Aramaic".
- Aramaic. Taken directly from the "Peshitta".
- Aramaic. Peshitta; with diacritical marks.
OK - obviously these different languages didn't copy correctly, so go to http://www.answering-christianity.com/eesa.htm and scroll about halfway down the page. His name in Aramaic is listed there. But read more than that - I just learned some things by reading that page, but I'll need to read more by other authors to ensure that info is correct. It's interesting!!
