    Weird, I read that jesus was not a common name at the time and that it would have been something like yusuf in reality if he was real

      “Jesus” is a Latin translation of a Greek translation of the Hebrew name Yeshua so, yes, “Jesus” wasn’t literally a common name in Israel. It was actually Yeshua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ,) that was a common name.
