jesuses real name

Yes. Then it would. It fits very nicely. But the fact is that many real men were named "Jesus" back in those days (or "Yeshua" being slightly more accurate). So, assuming that Jesus was fake, the name fits nicely. But it's not evidence in and of itself that Jesus is a mythical character.

That is interesting, but all ultimately irrelevent to the mythical Jesus question.

His Hebrew name would have been Yahushua. This is what the Old Testament Joshua's real name was.

But he probably went by the Aramaic version of his name, Yeshua.

When his name is recorded in the Greek New Testament, it is converted to Iesou. (Greek has no "sh" sound.) Proper nouns get suffixes sometimes in Greek. Iesou sometimes gets a sigma at the end, making it Iesous.

Latin converted his name to Iesus. They standardized the "s" sound at the end and changed the last vowel sound from "oo" to "uh".

English originally spelled his name Iesus. The "J" is the newest letter of the English alphabet. The "I" used to also make the "J" sound. When "J" was added to the alphabet, his name became Jesus.

Basically:

Hebrew Yahushua -> Aramaic Yeshua -> Greek Iesou -> Greek Iesous -> Latin Iesus -> Old English Iesus -> Modern English Jesus

Shit like this is such a waste of time. This kind of interpretation/reinterpretation is so beside the point.
