Why does Jesus have so many names?

[JackVk]

From time to time, I hear Jesus being called something else, such as His Hebrew name, Yeshua, or Jesu, or Emmanuel. Where do these come from?

Yeshua is just the Hebrew form of His name. Jesu is the Latin, I think (feel free to correct me, anyone).

Emmanuel comes from a passage in Isaiah:

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” -Isaiah 7:14
