Did Christ speak Aramaic as his mother tongue? Is his name Jesus?

I was told by Hebrew reading Jews that his real name is Yahushua being that there is no 'j' in the Hebrew language and that 'jehova' is not the name of God. If he indeed spoke Aramaic which is similar linguisticly to Arabic and Hebrew, then isn't it true that he uttered 'ilahi' for God?


Jews and Muslims know that Christ is not God because there is no faith without the Torah. The Torah is the foundation of Islam and Christianity. Without it, you lose.

Please, don't make this political. We hear about what PEOPLE do as acts of terror against humanity but this is a topic of linguistics!
 
whatever happened to the Immanuel fellah
Matthew 1:23
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
 
"Jesus" is a transliteration, occurring in a number of languages and based on the Latin Iesus, of the Greek ?????? (I?soûs), itself a hellenization of the Hebrew ?????????? (Y?h?šu?‘, Joshua) or Hebrew-Aramaic ???????? (Y?šû?‘), both meaning "Yahweh delivers" or "Yahweh rescues"

He most likely spoke mainly Aramaic with some Greek and Hebrew.

He did in fact call God "Eloi, Eloi" which is "My God, My God". El meaning God and Eloi meaning my God. (Mark 15:34)

The Markan word for "my god", ????, definitely corresponds to the Aramaic form ????, el?hî. The Matthean one, ???, fits in better with the ??? of the original Hebrew Psalm, as has been pointed out in the literature; however, it may also be Aramaic, because this form is attested abundantly in Aramaic as well.
 
Honestly, would it matter to anyone if his name was JIm-Bob? What would change?
 
There's no answer to the question because there is no contemporary or historical evidence that such a person ever existed.
