Hi Chris,
Joshua and Yeshua are the same name with same meaning.
We know Joshua , son of Nun,was not Yahweh, though his name means, "Yahweh saves", so The Name "Marya" applied to Yeshua identifies Him as Yahweh, whereas "Yeshua" by itself would not identify His Deity, any more than Joshua's name meant he was Divine.
Good question , though, and good to hear from you.
