The name Jesus , an anglicanised name, derives from Iesous ( Greek ), Hebrew (Yehoshua) or Hebrew/Aramaic (Yeshua).
Yeshua would have been a very common name in the Judea region at the time, although as Nazareth was either according to differing scholars, a small holding or not in existence at that time, it would not have been common in that sense.

If one assumes that Jews in 1st Century Palestine carried their father's name as surname, the most likely form of the name would be "Jesus bar Joseph," or "Yeshua bar Yosef;" literally, Jesus, son of Joseph, since his mother was married to the carpenter Joseph. However, it was quite common for a person to be known by his or her home town, in which case the name would be Jesus of Nazareth. This seems to be the name by which Jesus Christ was known.
