From some research it appears to me that the names : Joshua, Jeshua, Yeshu, Yeshua, Yoshua, Jehoschua, Jehoshua, Yehoshua, Yahushua, all are translated in Greek with: 'Jesus' (Iesous).


All this is covered in an excellent article by Uri.

Here is link form, I know Proteus has said that links haven't been working all that well for him, so I'll provide both.

Exposing the "Yeshu'a" Name Game

If I take an ancient Aztec script and translate 5 different names into one English equivilent that doesn't make the names the same. It just makes me an inadequate translator.
I asked for strength, and G-d gave difficulties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom, and G-d gave me problems to solve. I asked for prosperity, and G-d gave me brawn and brain to work. I asked for courage, and G-d gave me dangers to overcome. I asked for love, and G-d gave me troubled people to help. I asked for favors, and G-d gave me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed. My prayers were answered.
