Jesus is from the Latin Iesus which is from the Greek Iesous...those are not translations but transliterations. The Entire NT bible is translated from greek, not Aramaic or Hebrew.

Just an observation ... many of these extreme individuals who teach these type of ideas as a "revelation" often take satisfaction in being more spiritual than the rest of the body.
In NY, we had a young man who was spreading this "Yeshua" business in the church ... it was also usually accompanied with sharp criticisms of everyone and condemnation.
I remember, here in Houston there were a group of ultraconservative churches headed by some extreme pastors who were killing the rest of the Spanish-speaking fellowship for using the word "Cristo" or Christ.
They believed that those who used the term was were unholy being that Jesus is his name after the resurrection and that the Christ died at Calvary.
It was their new "revelation" that brought huge division and problems to the Spanish work especially here in the Houston area.
Ironically, some of these ministers leading "the revelation" were dealing with other immoral issues.
