The Origin of the Name Jesus
Where Did the Name Jesus Come From?
Jesus had other names, Jesus was called Kurios (Mathew 1:20; Ephesians 4:5) which is equivalent to Adonai in Aramic (Hebrew) (Gensis 15:2). Adonai is the name of a sumerian God named Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14) who was also called Adonis, and translates as "Master or Lord," Rabb in Aramic (Hebrew).
In ashuric /syriac (Arabic) it is Rab (Koran 1:1) and Means "Sustainer". His Egyptian name was Hor, or Haru which means "High", or "Far Away". The Greeks later changed it to Horus, then it became Latinized as Horus. Jesus in Greek Iesous, was an attempted transliteration from the Ashuric/Syriac (Arabic) name Iysa into Greek.
Question: Where did the name Jesus come from?
The word Jesus is a combination of the name Jehovah and the Greek God Zeus. When the Greeks converted to Judaism, they distorted the language, and the title Yahweh or Yahuwa became Jehweh or Jehovah. You see the Aramic(Hebrew) language doesn't have the "Ja" sound (Psalm 68:4) as found in Psalms, it's really "Ya". Neither was there any "J" sound in the English language before 1565 A.D. It was the Greeks that combined these two Deities. Je- from Jehovah and - Sus from Zeus to give you Jesus. The name Zeus and Iesous, are linked by the same root.
According to Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology, the greek "God" Dionysus is Etymologically Zeus or Simply Dionysus is Zeus, and if you look at the names Dionysus or Zeus and Jesus, the both end with the same suffix, Sus. The suffix Sus is from the French, Latin meaning "Swine, Hog, Sow". Dionysus, also called Bacchus is the God of wine ; Jesus' first so-called miracle was to change water into wine(John 4:46).
