Well, according to Judaism, I never needed a savior. God had everything worked out so that all I had to do was be a good person that didn't worship false gods or cut the limbs from a living animal and eat them. Us Gentiles have it easy, I don't even have to believe a god exists in order to have a place in the world to come. So, I guess the answer is Yahweh, as Jesus would condemn me for doing what Yahweh allowed. Yahweh saved me from Jesus! Wow!

Now for an actually intelligent and academic answer:

If you are Jewish, Yahweh would be considered your "savior, "as repeatedly stated in the Old Testament in regards to being freed from captivity and enslavement among various other cultures, such as the Babylonians and Egyptians.

If you are Christian, Jesus would be considered your "savior" in accordance with the premise of the New Testament and the doctrine of the various Christian sects.

The Bible says no one comes to God except through His Son Jesus. So, I've accepted Jesus as my Savior. But by doing this, God also is my Savior.

Question: "If His name was Yeshua, why do we call Him Jesus?"

Answer: 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.)

In German, our English word “book” is buch. In Spanish, it becomes a libro; in French, a livre. The language changes, but the object itself does not. In the same way, we can refer to Jesus as “Jesus,” “Yeshua,” or “YehSou” (Cantonese), without changing His nature. In any language, His name means “the Lord Is Salvation.”

We refer to Him as “Jesus” because, as English-speaking people, we know of Him through English translations of the Greek New Testament. Scripture does not value one language over another, and it gives no indication that we must resort to Hebrew when addressing the Lord.

The command is to “call on the name of the Lord,” with the promise that we “shall be saved” (Acts 2:21; Joel 2:32). Whether we call on Him in English, Korean, Hindi, or Hebrew, the result is the same: the Lord is salvation.

Just what do you mean by "our"? You assume that everyone has the same or similar belief system as you. That's pretty arrogant. Believe whatever you want.
"And this I believe: That the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in all the world. And this I would fight for: The freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: Any idea, religion, or government that limits or destroys the individual." John Steinbeck-East of Eden

Yahweh is the Hebrew word for "I am," what God said to Moses on Mt. Sanai, so therefore the name of God. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, so in Christianity, Jesus is our savior.

Yahweh (sometimes written YHWH) is a proposed English reading of יהוה, the name of the God of Israel, as preserved in the original consonantal Hebrew Bible text. An interesting footnote is that the abbreviated form of the name is Yah (Jah in the Latinized form), as found in Psalm 89:8 and in the expression Hallelu-Yah (meaning "Praise Yah, you people!")

The name Jesus comes from Iesous (Greek translation) which itself comes from the Aramaic/Hebrew Yehoshua.

The name Yehoshua has the form of a compound of "Yeho-" and "shua": Yeho- יְהוֹ is another form of יָהוּ Yahu, a theophoric element standing for the personal name of God YHWH, and שׁוּעַ shua is a noun meaning "a cry for help", "a saving cry", that is, a shout given when in need of rescue. Together the name would then literally mean, "'God' is a saving-cry," that is, shout to God when in need of help.

Another explanation for the name Yehoshua is that it comes from the root ישע yod-shin-`ayin, meaning "to save". According to the Book of Numbers verse 13:16, the name of Joshua son of Nun was originally Hoshea` הוֹשֵעַ, and the name "Yehoshua`" יְהוֹשֻׁעַ is usually spelled the same but with a yod added at the beginning. "Hoshea`" certainly comes from the root ישע yod-shin-`ayin (in the hif`il form the yod becomes a waw), and not from the word שוע shua`.[7] although ultimately both roots appear to be related.

In the 1st century, Philo of Alexandria renders this understanding of the name in Greek in an explanation of the name change of the biblical Joshua son of Nun (from Hoshea "He saved" to Yehoshua): "And Iesous [which stands for the Hebrew name Yehoshua] refers to salvation of the Lord" (Ἰησοῦ δὲ σωτηρία κυρίου) (On the Change of Names 21.121).

There is no doubt however that the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the 4 canonical Gospels, and in the Gospel of Thomas differs markedly from some of the teachings in the old testament and the Talmud/Torah.
After Solomon's reign the nation of Israel split into two kingdoms, Israel, consisting of ten of the tribes (in the north), and Judah, consisting of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin (in the south). Israel was conquered by the Assyrian ruler Shalmaneser V in the 8th century BCE. There is no commonly accepted historical record of those ten tribes, which are sometimes referred to as the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.

However, the Torah was written along time after the events they documented (only after the Israelites were forcibly exilled). As well, the Torah and Talmud were formally written by the Judaeans, and not the Israelites. Added to this is the fact that in 1st century Israel, there were 3 main types of Judaism (Pharisee, Saducee and Essene). The Essenes from which came the Nazarene's (Jesus' sect) originally were called Zadokites (named after the chief priest of Soloman). The Essenes believed that Pharisitic Judaism was a corruption of the truth (which they believed Jesus came to put right).
