The name "Jesus" is the English pronunciation of the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name "Yeshua". "Yeshua" means "Yahweh [the Lord] is Salvation" in Hebrew. The English spelling of "Yeshua" is "Joshua". The letter "J" sound used to pronounce Jesus name in English does not exist in Hebrew or Aramaic, which is strong evidence that Jesus was called something different by his contemporaries. However, there is no exact documentation of what Jesus' complete name was. If local custom was followed, he would likely have been formally called "Yeshua Bar Yosef" (Jesus son of Joseph) . In other settings, he might be called by his hometown, "Jesus of Nazareth".
