I am just confused by the words from the Mathew. According to prophet, name should be Emmanuel so why His name is Jesus ?
Mathew, 21:
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name [JESUS]: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Mathew, 23:
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name [Emmanuel],
which being interpreted is, God with us.

The command to give the child the proper name "Jesus" was given to Joseph by the angel and obedied. The reference to "Emmanuel" is a note added by the author to explain how the birth and of Jesus fulfilled an Old Testament propehcy (Isaiah 7:14) When you read the original verse, Emmanuel is a title given to him, not a proper name. It refers to the fact that Jesus was God in the flesh, and means "God with us".
So the birth of the man who was to be proper named Jesus (Yeshua - meaning "God Saves") was a fulfill of a prophecy that a virgin would have a child who have the title or position of "God with us".

The name Jesus means God will help and like you stated Emmanuel means God with us. Both names are correct when speaking about Jesus. He is all of these things. The same can be said for God. He has many, many names and we give him these names because we can not understand who He is. Jesus was full man and full God. So it makes sense that he should have many names too.

There are many things given as "names" for Jesus. You should distinguish between names and descriptive phrases, essentially nicknames. Ancient "names" could be either translated or transliterated, Which in Jesus' time gives us a variety of "names" for a single person. The ancient equivalent of nicknames were often hung on a person...
Hoshea, the son of Nun... Moses couldn't get his name right so we know him as Joshua... my paraphrase of Numbers 13:16. ;-)
Peter, Simon, and Cephas, all are "names" the same person.
In the ancient world, many people had multiple names. Different languages added even more complexity with the habit of translating names to retain the meaning of the name for someone that didn't know the original language source of the name. Like cited in Acts 9:36, "In Joppa there was a believer named Tabitha. Her name in the Greek language was Dorcas..."
This translation of a name gives us "Jesus" from Iesous in Greek, the translation of Yeshua (Joshua) from Hebrew/Aramaic meaning, "YHWH (Hebrew name of God - related to "I AM") saves."
Immanuel as is translated by Matthew means "God with us."
There are many examples of people having names or being called several different things. The ancient world did not use names the same way we do in the West. Names were changed because of something people did or things done to them. Names were "given" by leaders that stuck.
People were very aware of a name's MEANING, while very few are today, and beware, "baby name" books sometimes lie, else a few common names would never be seen.
The word translated "name" in Matt 1:23 (onoma) means name, title, or reputation. It refers to how a person is known, rather than a "name" in the modern sense.

No. The important thing is that this name had meaning, and Jesus fulfilled that meaning. He was Jehovah’s Representative, Jehovah’s Anointed One, the Christ or Messiah. In sending the Messiah to the Jews God showed that he was with them, not against them. He continued with the faithful Jewish remnant that accepted Jesus the Messiah, and he is with those who accept Christ the enthroned King at this time. Other names were foretold for the Messiah. For example, Isaiah 9:6 states concerning him: “His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Yet all of these names were not used toward Jesus as personal names by which to call him. He lived up to the meaning of these names, and that is the sense in which they were prophetically given, to show his qualities and the good offices he would perform for the obedient ones. So with the name Immanuel. He measured up to its meaning and thus fulfilled the prophecy assigning it to the Messiah, even though Jesus and not Immanuel was used as his personal name, which also was very meaningful. Matt. 1:21. Jesus did not claim to be God. At John 17:3, he called his Father the only true God.

Stas S,
Give Miriam the points. She got it right. Jesus is what we call him. Have you ever heard the words transliteration and translation? Yeshua is closer to how His name is pronounced.
