I don't believe it is an evolution, but what we see the English Jesus is from the Latin. The Latin form of Jesus, as well as the Greek and the Aramaic were on the Cross. Everyone would of accepted the phonetics, as well as the spellings. Iēsus Nazarēnus, Rēx Iūdaeōrum was above His head 2,000 years ago.
