Luke 2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS (Iésous), which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ (Christos) Jesus (Iésous):

And then says this of THAT name.

Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus (Iésous) every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus (Iésous) Christ (Christos) is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

In the GREEK the Holy Spirit through Paul says that the name Iésous Jesus is the NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES.

Again to the Corinthians written in Greek.

1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus (Iésous) Christ (Christos), that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Iēsoús – Jesus, the transliteration of the Hebrew term, 3091 /Lṓt ("Yehoshua"/Jehoshua, contracted to "Joshua") which means "Yahweh saves" (or "Yahweh is salvation"). [http://biblehub.com/greek/2424.htm]

Interesting, for all the broo ha ha about Iesous for Jesus, people tend to forget that Ivan and Ian are foreign names for John, just like Estaban is a foreign name for Stephen, Mikhail for Michael.

There is an English equivalent for many foreign names and here in the US, we use the English one.

And besides, *Yeshua* is the Anglicized form of the Hebrew name which is WRITTEN IN HEBREW CHARACTERS. And the pronunciation is not going to be correct either because the English language does not have the equivalent of Hebrew sounds represented by English letters. So even *Yeshua* is not being pronounced correctly by an English speaking person.
