Also, why do we use the name Jesus since it apparently isn't the right name?

Probably Yeshuah. It is the same Hebrew name as Joshua.

Actually, Hebrew does have vowels, they just aren't used in the OT. It is called pointing to insert them.
The pronunciation we would be most familiar with is Yaisous.
We use the name Jesus since it is the one the angel instructed Mary/Joseph to give him. It is the Greek form of the Hebrew Joshua. The OT has other names for the prophetically foretold Messiah including the familiar Immanuel, Root of David, etc.

Jesus is the English form of the name, which I think is Yeshua in Hebrew. Biblical Hebrew was written without any vowels, but that was not the way it was spoken. (It would be very difficult to speak without using any vowel sounds.)
In first century Palestine, Aramaic was spoken. I don't know what Jesus/Yeshua is in Aramaic.

His actual name was Yesuah. It became Jesus into translation. The Essenes have all the original teachings of Christ go to gospelofthenazirenes. for the original New testament before King Constantine misconstrued so many things.

That person's name would actually have been Yeshua or Yehoshua. Jesus is the Greek version of this name; other people who were named Yeshua have their name pronounced as Joshua nowadays.

The Jewish name for Jesus is Yeshua. Jesus is the English translation.

I believe that it is pronounced "ya-shoe-ah" from the Aramic standard. Some like to believe that "hey suse", but I think that is the modern Latin to Spanish derivative.
Also, I believe that through the many transliterations from Aramic - Greek - Roman - English, the English took words at their spelling, and simply pronounced it as they saw it.

Jesus is the translated version of the name, His Jewish name, I believe, is Yeshua.
