History of religion is fascinating. Best thing I found was the real name of Jesus. It was Jacob. The spelling in an ancient text was misinterpreted and then just copied through the centuries.
Also 'Yahweh' was just a wild guess at the original Hebrew text which contained no vowels at the time of it's writing.

I always thought Jesus' name was "Yeshua," which was a common name in that time and place.

I don’t think there was a historical Jesus. However, if there was, he would been called “Yeshua” or “Yehoshua” or “Joshua” or similar. It is Jesus and Joshua that are the same name.

I don’t know if it was a wild guess, but rather an educated guess. Rather than possibly being wrong, the Hebrews chose not to say the name. They were scared Yahweh would kill them all like he did to so many other undeserving people in the Bible.
