Is it true that Jesus is the English form of the Greek Iesous, which renders the Hebrew name Yeshua (Joshua), a common name in first-century Judea?
Yes. A reference article on the name Jesus states that it derives from the Greek Iesous, the Ancient Greek form of the Hebrew Yeshua, etymologically related to Joshua, and that Yeshua was in common use among Jews in the Second Temple period.
