Only among South American baseball players.

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]
