Scholars believe that 'Jesus' would have gone by a name in his own native language of Aramaic which is nothing like our modern version.
Jesus' past name travelled a long-linguistic road from his own Aramaic into Hebrew, then to Greek and into Latin before it could ever receive an English translation.
Experts say that Jesus' last name was definitely not 'Christ' but would have actually been based on his home town, making it most likely Yeshu Nazareen.
Given his family background in Nazareth, we can assume his day-to-day language was Aramaic, which was the vernacular language amongst the Jewish population.
