It's a matter of pronunciation, which is shaped by local culture, and
spelling, which varies widely even within the same language.

Without building a time machine and going back to Judea circa 20CE,
there is no way to tell for sure how Jesus' name was pronounced. But the
different ways it is transcribed gives a clue good enough to go on.


... Most wrongly believe his full name was
Jesus Christ.


Sure. Most people don't read.



Jesus Christ is as well documented a historical figure as almost anybody
except perhaps Alexander III of Macedon ("the Great").




On the contrary. Much of what is written was penned by people who had
never
seen the man relying on word of mouth stories.


Wrong. The compilers of the Gospel had a large amount of material to go
on, and while what they included in the New Testament was certainly
screened for politically correct content, they did not destroy much of
what they did *not* include. The material survives, a lot has been
translated into English multiple times, and is available.



I think he's right. Can you point to single document describing "Jesus"
dated around 1 AD?
