Yahshua is HIS name which means "YAH is salvation" unlike the name Jesus, who's origin is actually of PAGAN origin.
"Joshua," is actually the correct English translation IF a translation was need, but it isn't.
In the New Testament (KJV). One very glaring "translation" is found in Luke 4:27 where the name "Eliseus" is used instead of Elisha. In the Greek, "Eliseus" means "God (Elohim) is Zeus."
Luke 4:27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
In the original KJV, Eliseus is ACTUALLY rendered as EliZeus! Translators let the "z" that clearly represent Zeus get past them back in 1611 but they rectified the "deceit" later. The same "s" that they put in Eliseus is the SAME "s" they put in JeSus replacing the "z" that is really Zeus. Zeus and salvation are synonymous to the ancient Greeks. The tie-in brothas and sistas, is that Elizeus to the Greeks mean "God/Elohim saves, because the "sha" in Elisha (the true Hebrew name of the prophet as opposed to Elizeus) means saves just as "shua" in Joshua or Yahshua means "saves." To the Greeks, salvation is of ZEUS. So the point is that Jesus is neither transliterated NOR translated from Yahshua because Zeus saves no one!
Acts 7:45 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
"Jesus" in this passage, was originally "Yahshua" because Joshua the son of Nun, and the successor to Moshe (Moses) was who was being referred to here as the one that brought the tabernacle of witness into the possession of the "Gentiles."
Names should not be neither translated nor transliterated!
Psalm 68:4 Sing unto Elohim, sing praises to HIS NAME: (which name?) extol him that ride upon the heavens by his name YAH, and rejoice before him.
YAHWEH is shortened to Yah there. Even Yahshua is actually a shortened form of Yahoshua.
Yah is found in many of the prophets and kings names like IsaiYah, ZechariYah, JeremiYah, and EliYah and the praise, Hallelujah! YHWH is the English equivalent to the Hebrew characters "Yod-He-Waw-He." Psalms 119 is broken up by the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. "YaHWeH" is how it's pronounced. In Israel's bondage, our oppressors have always taken the wisest amongst us and changed our names (which contained our Father's name) to reflect their deities Even more examples!
Daniel 1:6-7 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, are three Hebrews chosen to be raised up in the king's house. Hananiah means "Yah has shown favor. " Mishael, or Michael, means "Who is like unto Elohim." Azariah means "Yah has helped." The Babylonians changed their names to reflect their deities.
Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; ("Bel's Prince") and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; ("Illuminated by the Sun") and to Mishael, of Meshach; ("Who is like Shach?") and to Azariah, of Abednego. (The Servant of Nego)
Daniel 4:8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, ACCORDING TO THE NAME OF MY GOD,...
Even the Hebrew names of Paul and Barnabas were "paganized." Not only was the name Yahshua reduced to the Greek deity Zeus by the name Jesus, but the translators also did not want people to know or use YHWH (Yahweh). Every where you read "LORD God" in the Bible, it was actually "YAHWEH Elohim" The "LORD God" is not a name. By putting the correct name in the scriptures, the scriptures come alive. Notice:
Exodus 20: 1-2,7 I am YAHWEH thy Elohim, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Do you see that?!
Jeremiah 23:1,27 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith YAHWEH.
What was the name that the people of forgotten? YHWH (YAHWEH) is the name.
If the name "Yahweh or Yahshua" offends you, Yahshua said "MANY shall be offended by my namesake."

Which also our fathers that came after brought in with JESUS into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
Before the 1600's, "Jesus" was pronounced closer to the way the LATIN-OS (LATINOS) pronounce it today (Hey-ZEUS). Why also did they decide to change the long "u" sound as in truth, (Zeus), to the short "u" sound, as in lust, (Jesus)??!! Hmmmmm....
Genesis 41:43 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name ZAPH'-NATH-PA-A-NE'-AH; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
Acts 14:11-15 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
Thou shalt not take the name of YAHWEH thy Elohim in vain; for YAHWEH will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Which think to cause my people to FORGET MY NAME by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
