Honest question. I found this verse in the bible, Isaiah 7:14:
"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
I took it from KJV Bible, anyways,
Is Jesus that Immanuel?
If so, why is it Immanuel, does it mean anything...or something?

Immanuel or Emmanuel or Imanu'el (×¢Ö´×Ö¸Ö¼× ×Ö¼×Öµ× "God [is] with us" consisting of two Hebrew words: ×× (El, meaning God) and ×¢×× × (Immanu, meaning with us; Standard Hebrew Ê»Immanuʼel, Tiberian Hebrew Ê»ImmÄnûʼÄl) is a name used in Isaiah 7:14 and Isaiah 8:8. It also appears in Matthew 1:23 in the Christian New Testament.
Emmanuel is also one of the names used for Christ.
It is also used as first name among Christians. Examples are Immanuel Kant, Victor Emmanuel of Italy.

yes That should be one of the names of Jesus as said by God to be called Emmanuel. Read again the verse and the wordings. It is a future tense, a virgin will conceived and give birth for a child and call his name Emmanuel. The meaning of Emmanuel is God is with us.

A Son" (ben), is the Son of God. This is obvious because He "shall be called, (qara’ - recite and proclaim, appoint and endow) with a most important and unique shem-name. "His name" is "Immanu’el." ‘Immanu’el means "With us is God." The Hebrew word which precedes, ‘el or "God," is based upon the consonant root ‘mm, meaning "to comprehend and to include," the ministry and mission of the Messiah.
