It always confuses me when I see the name Jesus on a name tag and it is really Hasus.
I have a hard time praying to Hasus.

The name in Jesus' own time in Judaea would actually have been said as
Yeshua (in Aramaic, Jesus' mother tongue)
Yeshua eventually became Iesous (in Greek, the language of the New Testament), and then Iesus (in Latin, the language of the Roman Empire and subsequently of the Roman catholic church).
This eventually became Jesus in English. The pronunciation of the name in all languages is different, hence the Hasuus pronunciation in Spanish. In my own mother tongue, Tamil, it is pronounced Yesu (which is actually closer to the original Yeshua).

In Hebrew and Aramaic, the languages Jesus spoke, it was pronounced Yehoshuah.
And a note to a poster below: The Israelites did not prnounce the ineffable name of God (YHWH, the Tetragrammaton), that is true. But they substituted the word Adonai (my Lord) in its place, not Eheyeh (I Am). This is why you see Lord capitalized in Bibles.

As pyg pointed out in and earlier question, Jesus was never acutally called "Jesus". His name was yeshua, the greek translation of what we have now.
also a cool thing on the whole name trend here:
The jews didn't have a name for God. They couldn't speak it. It was to divine and majestic and awe-inspiring. They would generally refer to him as the "I AM". Whenenver you are flipping through your bible and you see LORD capitalized, this is the situation.

Jesus (when pronounced Hay-zeus) is a Latino/Spanish name/pronunciation (I believe). Jesus, as in Christ, was Jewish, and so the Jewish pronunciation would be correct. Rather than rehash it, look at the link I posted for more information:

Yes but not to the English (J) more like the English (Y). H have nothing to do with J or Y.
Hasus is devilish, evil. A name of a demonic spirit. Written from left to right means deterioration of the spirit.
Don't make fun of it, as it is one of the hardest spirits to get rid of.
Ha, hah ha. silly.

It doesn't matter how you pronounced it. What is important is what is in your heart. Keep on praying. Don't let yourself be distracted with small detail. This is just the enemy, the devil, trying to prevent you from praying. Because whenever someone is praying, he is trembling.

J is due to English translation.
Other race called it differently. Many Asian language will make it sounds like Y. I think in Koran, it was known as Isa.

The problem you are having is not whether Jesus was pronounced with a "J" in 33AD, but how to pronounce the Spanish "J".

i think it deffinitely changes according to the different languages and the types if pronunciation;
in my language which is arabic "jesus" is pronounced :" Eeissa"
and ofcourse the letter "ee" which i wrote is pronounced diffrently in arabic .
but i think that GOD takes it according to your intention, spell it as you used to,as long as your intention is on Jesus christ only.
