Notice there was no letter J around the time of Jesus. Hrmmm 😆
That's why some crosses have "INRI" written: Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum
The name "Jesus" comes from the Greek Iēsous, which is a transliteration of the Hebrew name Yeshua (or sometimes the longer form, Yehoshua), meaning "Yahweh saves."
... so Jesus is basically "God Saves" so "Jesus Saves" is just "God Saves Saves"?
Hence Iesus Nazarenus in Latin.
