because that's not his name.
His name is Yeshu ישו
Yehoshua is Joshua - יְהוֹשֻׁעַ

Naz he is wrong and must have had an ulterior motive for telling you this,the name Jesus is the same as the Jewish name Joshua,it literally means `God saves` in hebrew this becomes `Yesuha ` or `Yehoshua`

Maybe he misunderstood his Bible.
Yeshua is the Hebrew name, and its English spelling is “Joshua.” Iesous is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name, and its English spelling is “Jesus.” Thus, the names Joshua and Jesus are essentially the same; both are English pronunciations of the Hebrew and Greek names for the Lord. (For examples of how the two names are interchangeable, see Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8 in the KJV. In both cases, the word Jesus refers to the Old Testament character Joshua.)
