Jesus (8–2 BC/BCE to 29–36 AD/CE),[1] also known as Jesus of Nazareth,
is the central figure of Christianity. He is also called Jesus Christ,
where "Jesus" is an Anglicization of the Greek Ίησους Iēsous, itself a
transliteration of the Hebrew יהושע Yehoshua or Hebrew-Aramaic ישוע
Yeshua, meaning "YHWH is salvation"; and where "Christ" is a title
derived from the Greek christós, meaning the "Anointed One", which
corresponds to the Hebrew-derived "Messiah".

I read somewhere once were they used the name Jesus just because it
equaled 888. Could be just a rumor.

Jesus

English form of Ιησους (Iesous), which was the Greek form of the Aramaic
name יֵשֻׁעַ (Yeshu'a). Yeshu'a is itself a contracted form of Yehoshu'a
(see JOSHUA). Yeshua ben Yoseph, better known as Jesus Christ, was the
central figure of the New Testament and the source of the Christian
religion. The four Gospels state that he was the son of God and the
Virgin Mary who fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah.
He preached for three years before being crucified in Jerusalem.

Jesus
Charming, witty, original and idealistic you have a creative and
inventive mind with great intuition. Your broad vision, perceptive
powers and compassion gives you an instinctive understanding of peoples
needs. You are a natural leader who has a talent for inspiring and
teaching others and always display fairness, honesty and integrity. You
are always seeking a new challenge for your vast creative potential.

Jesus is the terribly translated English version of Ye'shua. Jesus
should actually be Joshua in English. It means "The Lord is Salvation".
