(1) The name of “Jesus” did not exist before the 17th century, the letter ‘J’ was added by the Church.
Christians and others assume that the Greek name Jesus was the original name of the Saviour. This was impossible. The
name Jesus did not exist, and would not have been spelled with the letter J, until about six hundred years ago. There was
no J in any language prior to the fourteenth century in England. The letter did not become widely used until the
seventeenth century. The Encyclopedia Americana contains the following on the letter J: “The form of J was unknown in
any alphabet until the 14th century. Either symbol J or I used initially generally had to be the sound of Y as in year.
Gradually the two symbols of J and I were differentiated, the J usually acquiring consonantal force and thus becoming
regarded as a consonant, and the I becoming a vowel. It was not until 1630 that the differentiations became accepted in
England. In the 1611 King James Version of the Bible, there was no J letter because it did not exist. James was spelled
Iames and Jesus was spelled Iesous. In the ancient Latin and Greek languages, Jesus was spelled with the letter
I. (Tom Harper, The Pagan Christ, p. 219)
Jesus is translated Eshoo in Aramaic and Isa in Arabic, and IESUS in the Gospel of the Nazorenes.

Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

We get the name "Jesus" from the Romans and the Latin language equivalent, "Iesus." Back in the day, nobody used Js and everything that today had Js had Is in them. Therefore, Julius Caesar would be Iulius Caesar. Hope this helps!

It was Yeshua. On the cross it was INRI, Jesus of Nazarath, King of the Jews. There was no J in the Roman alphabet. They used an I instead.

His name as it was told to Mary that he should have was Iesous, there is no J in the Hebrew or Greek this is a English translation. As so many words are. Check your Strong's ezaustive concordance. Hope this helps.

"Jesus" is just the English version. In Greek (the universal language of the day) His name began with an iota I believe.
