"Jesus" was not His name.

...sure it is--though he has others (in other languages), like 'Yeshua' in Hebrew or 'Joshua' in English, etc. But the (inspired, inerrant, and infallible) Scriptures record for us that the angel of the Lord told Joseph to name him 'Ἰησοῦν' ([Matthew 1:21](https://Matt+1)--the Greek form of the name 'Joshua' or 'Yeshua'--and that's good enough for me. Just like calling James "Seamus" or William "Guillermo," etc. That said, I obviously appreciate the intentional 'echos' of Joshua, and Hosea, for example.
