Excerpt from "The Catholic Encyclopaedia" (1913):-

The word Jesus is the Latin form of the Greek 'Iesous,' which in turn is
the transliteration of the Hebrew Jeshua, or Joshua, or again Jehoshua,
meaning "Jehovah is salvation."  During the Hellenizing period, 'Jason,'
a purely Greek analogon of Jesus, appears to have been adopted by many (
I Mach., viii, 17; xii, 16; xiv, 22; II Mach., i, 7; ii, 24; iv, 7 26;
v, 5 10; Acts, xvii, 5 9; Rom., xvi, 21). The Greek name is connected
with verb 'iasthai,' to heal; it is therefore, not surprising that some
of the Greek Fathers allied the word Jesus with same root (Euseb., "Dem.
Ev.", IV; cf. Acts, ix, 34; x., 38).
