Question: who gave jesus his name?
Answer: In the Gospel according to St. Matthew, chapter 1, verses 19–21, the 'Angel of the Lord' announced His birth to Joseph the carpenter and told Joseph to call His name 'Jesus', 'for He shall save His people from their sins'. Jesus is the Greek rendering of Joshua, or, Yeshua and means “YaHVeH (or, Jehovah) saves”.
