What Was Jesus's Real Name In Arabic?
In Arabic Jesus’ name was Isa, and in Hebrew his name is Yeshua. However, when translating Yeshua into Arabic, I found that it does not become Isa, but rather Yasu.
Arabic and Hebrew are very similar in nature when it comes to the words and sounds. The words Shalom is the equivalent of Salam. The letter Shin is the equivalent Sin. And so on and so forth. In aramaic, Jesus’ name was is spelt like thile following in Hebrew, the Hebrew equivalent, and the Arabic norm.
Yeshua: Yod + Shin + Waw + Ain
Yasu: Yas + Sin + Waw + Ain
Isa: Ain + Ya + Sin + Ya
With this said, what was Jesus’ real name in Arabic? Was it Isa or Yasu?

Actually, Yeshua did not enter Arabic language.
The Gospels manuscripts were mostly written in Greek (not Aramaic that Jesus (AS) actually spoke) and so Yeshua got converted to Eesau in common Greek usage.
When Christians introduced the Greek word into Arabic language, Eesau became Essa or Isa.
Qur’an does not talk about the figures’ actual name in reality (except for John The Baptist) but instead uses the words that its audience commonly used, so Christians were calling Yeshua, Isa and since it was not questionable in anyway, Qur’an and Muslims accepted Isa as the name of son of Maryam (AS). So yes, we don’t know what people actually called Jesus (AS) in his time. Yeshua is the likely name and Arabic Christians called him Isa in Prophet’s time (PBUH).
