Joshua

Yəhōšuaʿ, 'Yahweh is salvation', is the same name as Jesus, and Greek wrote both as Iēsous. Jerome's Latin Iosue kept them apart, giving Josué and Giosuè. English went from Wycliffe's Josue to Coverdale's Iosua and the Geneva Bible's Ioshua (1560), while Ethiopia crowned emperors named Iyasu.
