Nope. In Spanish there's no difference between the name given to the Jeshua of the Bible and the common first name. Neither in writing nor in pronunciation. It is Jesús (khe-SOOS) in both cases.
Another very common diminutive in Spain at least, is Suso.

I adore this pronunciation of Jesus more than the English version. I think it's very beautiful and it gives off a strong, valiant presence.

Please people, this is embarassing. Have some cultural awareness! "Jesús" is Spanish for "Joshua" and is as common in Spain and Mexico as Joshua is in English-speaking countries.

Jesús is not the Spanish form of Joshua, but the Spanish form of the Latinized Hebrew name Jesus (though the original Hebrew name - Yeshua - is etymologically related to modern Joshua). The Spanish name that's *explicitly* a form of Joshua is Josué.

Jesus is NOT the Spanish form of Joshua. It is the Spanish form of Jesus. No matter how you slice or dice the name it is the same as Jesus in English and the same as Jesus in any other language. When Spanish-speakers refer to Jesus they are referring to (HEH-soos). This is only used as a name in Spanish-speaking countries. Its usage started in Spain. In any other Christian country it is considered sacrilegious to use. The tradition of theophoric names goes back to Moorish Islamic influence in Spain.

Jesus like Hay-soos is a whole lot better. But it can still lead to confusion, One time, my cousin worked at a call center, and answered a call to Hay-soos saying "HELLO, Mr. Jee-sus!" Haha.

Jesus (pronounce He-soos) is a very popular name with Hispanics. Funny story, I was about 6 or 7 and I saw my mom typing a letter on the computer to someone with that name and I saw "Dear Jesus" at the top and I just like "Why are you writing a letter to Jesus?" and she said "No, it's pronouced He-soos".

I would never name my child Jesus. Jesus is the name of the Lord Most High. The name Jesus is too holy to be given to a human sinner.
