Answer 1:

Jesus is considered to be the Greek form of Joshua, a short form of Jehoshua or Yahushua.

Answer 2:

There are also many possibilities of other, original names, depending on one's faith.

"The Word"

Yeshua

John

Michael

All those have adherents.

Answer 2According to Jewish custom, all people were named according to their characteristics or aspirations for their lives. In Jesus' case, most scholars believe that the name 'Jesus' means 'he who saves'. In addition to this, the name used for Jesus in one of the Old Testament prophesies concerning him - Emmanuel - means 'God with us'.
