    ‘I’ used to be used as both a vowel and a consonant, similar to how we use C for both the ‘s’ sound and the ‘k’ sound. So probably it would have been Iesus with an I. Probably sounded out the same as the guy who did my drywall.

      The Russian й (e.g. the last letter in the name Sergei) is a semivowel, the only one in the Russian alphabet.
