I don't see why people get hung up on this point. I'm Italian. I have an Italian name. But I live in America, and to make it easier for the people around me, I have an Americanized name, too, and I use it frequently. My name can be translated in many different ways. So Jesus may have been called one name in His own native culture, but another name in a different country. He will probably be referred to by a different name in Spain than in Germany or Poland. What does it matter what we call Him, as long as we call upon Him with reverence? I can't imagine Him being so petty as to deny people blessings or salvation because they call him by the name their culture has taught them to address Him by instead of whatever name He happened to born with centuries ago.
