"Yeshu" is what Dan McClellan (PhD) claims Jesus' authentic name would of sounded like back in the first century CE. Although pronunciations may vary, it seems like a scholarly consensus lean towards Dan's explanation.

"Yeshua" is a shortened form of "Yehoshua" and is the Hebrew equivalent of the name Joshua. It retains the meaning of "Yahweh is salvation" or "Yahweh saves." This is the name that Jesus would have been known by during his lifetime among his followers and in his native language.

Iesous: When the New Testament texts were translated from Hebrew and Aramaic into Greek, the name "Yeshua" was rendered as "Ἰησοῦς" (Iēsous) in Greek. This Greek form, "Iesous," is the same name used in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible.

Jesus: The name "Jesus" evolved from the Greek "Iesous" through various transliterations and translations. As the Christian message spread throughout the Roman Empire, the name "Iesous" was further translated into different languages. In Latin, it became "Iesus," and from there, it transitioned into other European languages. Over time, the pronunciation shifted, and the "J" sound in English replaced the "I" sound, resulting in the familiar name "Jesus."

It's important to note that the evolution of the name occurred over centuries and through different languages, reflecting the linguistic and cultural contexts of the time.
