Jesus is the anglicized version of his name. But in his native language he was called something else?
What was his name?

Ya' Hashua
Looks a lot like Joshua doesnt it?
The letter J is fairly modern in terms of language.
By the way look @ this!
Joshua or Jehoshua = Hebrew for "Jehovah is salvation"
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Most scholars believe that Jesus primarily spoke Aramaic, with some Hebrew and Greek. He had several names in Aramaic: Eashoa; Maran [our Lord], and M'sheekha [Messiah or Christ]
In Old Hebrew - a form of Aramaic - his name could have been Yeshua but there are problems with this formulation.

"Yeshua" or "Yehoshua" which is normaly translated as Joshua, but there were already several Joshuas in the Bible so the English translators made it "Jesus" to make Christ distinctive and avoid any confusion with the human Joshuas.

Are you testing us or just giving people an opportunity for points? It cant be that hard to find the Aramaiac spelling of Jesus?
Yeshua though some people spell it differently.

Yeshua.
In English it would be Joshua.
Part of the reason we call him by the Greek version of his name is to avoid confusing him with Joshua, Moses' successor.
