Here is my understanding of this issue:

People in that area at that time spoke multiple languages. "Jesus" was the Greek way to say and write his name.

Therefore, "Jesus" is just as much his real name as "Yeshua" was. The name "Jesus" probably deserves preference (depending on the context), since it's how the writers of the New Testament referred to him.

Also, "Yeshua" (just like "Jesus") is an English transliteration - it's not written in any of the original languages that his name would have been written in at that time.

The Hellenistic Jews spoke Greek but Jesus and his mother spoke Aramaic. Yeshua

There are many names for Jesus though, but the name Jesus coined in the 1400's C.E.

Yeshua was the Hebrew name that Jesus's Mother used for him, it translates to the name Joshua today.

It is pronounced Yeh-SHU-ah. This is just his birth given name, but of course he did go by many other names as well. Aramaic while rare, is still taught today by Messianic Jews and linguistic scholars. The Hebrew we speak today is more like Neo-Aramaic.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not why you're saying that the name Jesus was coined in the 1400s. The Greek version of that name (something like "Iesous") is commonly used in the New Testament.
