The Muslim name for Jesus, as is more often used by Muslims, is Isa, not Easa. Once you know the correct spelling it does not resemble the name Easu. Isa is simply the Arabic word for Yeshu so it isn't meant as an insult. They are not changing the name, but using a derivative of the same name that is meaningful to them.

Yeshu is the more common name for the name Jesus by Christians throughout Asia and Africa.

Q: Why do the Muslims choose the name Eesa for Jesus. It looks very much like the Esau of the Old Testament which is an insult to Christ. What would happen if Christian did that to their founder?
