There are a couple of different Hebrew names that can translate into the name Jesus, which is a Greek translation of a Hebrew name.
You have a very good answer, except, the translation of the name Jesus.
The name Jesus is an anglicized form of the Latin Iesus, which itself is derived from the Greek name Iesous. Iesous was the Greek transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua, which itself was the later Aramaic form of the Hebrew name Yehoshua.
There is no power in the name "Jesus", there is only power in God.

Jesus is a variation of Joshua, or Jeshua, from which diiferent names come (Jesus, Joseph, Hussein).
Christ comes from the Greek word 'Hristos', meaning the anointed one.
So "Jesus Christ" may well mean "Oily Joe".
