I think that is the Greek name for Yeshua.
Yeshua was his Hebrew name.

Short answer is yes. It was a form of Joshua.

The name Jesus is an anglicized form of the Latin
Iesus, which itself is derived from the Greek name
Iesous. Iesous was the Greek transliteration of the Aramaic name
Yeshua, which itself was the later Aramaic form of the Hebrew name
Yehoshua.[1]
