Jesus is a Hebrew name and so is Mary.
Those are just the English translation.
As for his appearance it's what the guy above me said.
NO! not God I'm talking about the poster above me.You get confused so easily.

The names were romanticized - they are not spanish names (originally).
Jesus was a Jew from the middle east...he would have looked like others in that region. But people are more comforatable with their own and so they changed it - that is why I have seen white Jesus and black Jesus and others.
