In Hebrew, Jesus' name would have been Yeshua Ben Joseph. At the time of His birth, it was the custom among Jews to name their children according to lineage. Therefore Jesus was named 'Yeshua son of Joseph'. Yeshua (yeh-SHOO-ah) in Hebrew means salvation. From gravesites of the area, the name 'Salvation' was a common one.

The travel of the Name throughout the various languages gives us Jesus. From the Hebrew Yeshua, it went to the Greek Iesus. From the Greek it went to the Latin Iesu, and from the Latin Iesu, it went to the English Iesus. The J was not invented until the Middle Ages, so the current spelling Jesus was not available until about 1500.

Note that each language has it peculiarities according to grammar. The Greek ending of 'sus' denotes male, much like the pronoun 'he', so the transliteration from Hebrew to Greek is consistant within the boundaries of each language.

Jesus is referred to by many names in The Bible, including Immanuel (God with us), Son of God, Messiah (Anointed One), Son of David, Alpha and Omega, and the Word. Each name carries different meanings and emphasizes different aspects of his identity and role.

It is difficult to know what you mean by "powerful", but the only names that have power and are mentioned in the Bible are Jehovah God and Jesus Christ.
