No, "Jesus" is Latin. Greek equiv is "Iesous." Hebrew equiv is "Yeshua." The OT character called "Joshua" in the KJV, is in the orig Heb "Yehoshua."
Yeshua= 386= yod-shin-vav-ayin
Yehoshua= 391 = yod-heh-shin-vav-ayin

Any good dictionary will show the derivation or the history of the translation of Jesus through the various languages. All agree that the word “Jesus is a transcription or a copy of the Greek name … which is a derivation of the Hebrew Ieshoua, a common Jewish name” according to the book The Names and Titles of Jesus by Leopold Sabourin, S.J.
