Jesus is the Latin form of the Greek Iesous which corresponds to the Hebrew Yeshua or Yehohshua and means "Jehovah is Salvation".
Jewish historian Josephus of the first century C.E.. (or B.C.) mentions some 12 persons other than those in the Bible record, bearing the name. It also appears in the Aprocryphal ()not part of the original Bible canon) writings of the last conturies of the B.C.E. period. It therefore appears that it was not an uncommon name during that period.
Four different Jesus' mentioned in the scriptures:
1. The name Iesous appears in the Greek text of Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 48 and applies to Joshua, the leader of Israel following Moses' death
2. An ancester of Jesus Christ, evidently in his mother's line. (Luke 3:29) Some anscient manuscripts here read "Jose(s)."
3. Jeusus Christ
4. A Christian, evidently Jewish and fellow worker of Paul He was also called Justus - Colossians 4:11.

You mean people named Jesus?
Apparently yes, the first name of Barabbas, the one who is replaced by Jesus Christ was Jesus too; Jesus Barabbas.
See Matthew 27:16-17
