Jesus - The main theory, by far, is that it means "hail Zeus." This theory existed more than 30 years ago, though was greatly popularized by Lew White in his book "Fossilized Customs." According to White, the name "Iesous" really comes from "Ie" meaning "to hail/praise" and "Sous" being a moniker for Zeus, which tells us that the name "Iesous" means "hail/praise Zeus." Other theories include "Jesus means 'horse' in Hebrew" or "hippo." Another claim is that the Greek Ιησους (Iesous) from which is derived the Latin Iesus and the English Jesus, pays homage to Zeus (in the "sous" ending) as well as to the goddess of healing "Iaso / Ieso." One less common theory also purports that "sus" means "pig" in Latin, and that "je" means "land/earth" and thus "je-sus" means "earth pig."
Why "Jesus" is An Insult to YEHOVAH God!
The name “Iesus” [Jesus], rather than proclaiming that the Almighty saves, refers to Him as a swine and is an abominable name. But, how could such a thing happen? What we possibly have here is either an unbelievable coincidence, or traces of a complex conspiracy to blaspheme both our Creator and our Savior through the name “Iesus.” by Richard H. Harris III
The Name Jesus
The Name Jesus
The original name of our Saviour was not Jesus or Iesous, but Yahshua (Yeshua, Yehoshua). In our Saviour's word, His Father's Name was given to Him. The Father's Name is Yahweh.
Two factors contributed greatly to the substitution and the distortion of our Saviour's Name. The first was the superstitious teaching of the Jews that the Father's Name is not to be uttered and that the Name must be "disguised" outside of the temple of Jerusalem. The second factor was the strong anti-Judaism feeling that prevailed amongst the Gentiles. They wanted a saviour, but not a Jewish one.
According to Worterbuch der Antike, the substitute name can be traced back to the Latin Iesus and the Greek Iesous. Then, it can be traced back to an adaptation of the name of the Greek healing goddess Ieso. The Greek-English Lexicon of Liddell and Scott, confirm this. To Greeks who venerated a healing goddess Ieso, a saviour Iesous must have been most acceptable, suggests a writer in Philologische Wochenschrift. In spite of attempts to justify the "translating" of the Father's Name and His Son's Name, it cannot be done. A person's name remains the same in all languages.
The father of the Greek goddess Ieso was Asclepius, the deity of healing. The father of Asclepius was Apollo, the great sun-deity. Thus, the name Iesous can be traced back to sun-worship. There is also a relationship to the Egyptian goddess Isis and her son Isu. According to Reallexikon der Agpyptischen Religionsgeschichte, the name of Isis appears in hieroglyphic inscriptions as ESU or ES. Isu and Esu sound exactly like "Jesu" that the Saviour is called in the translated Scriptures of many languages.
Esus was a Gallic deity comparable to the Scandanavian Odin. The Greek abbreviation for Iesous is IHS, which is found on many inscriptions made by the Church during the middle Ages. IHS was the mystery name of Bacchus (Tammuz), another sun-deity. These are a few examples only.
Here is a quote from Dictionary of Christian Lore and Legend, by J. C. J. Metford:
"It is known that the Greek name endings of sus, seus, and sous (which are phonetic pronunciations for Zeus) were attached by the Greeks to names and geographical areas as a means to give honor to their supreme deity, Zeus. Examples given are: Parnassus, a sacred mountain in Greece: the Greek deity of wine and son of Zeus, Dionysus; the Greek hero of the Trojan war was Odysseus, and the Greek deity of healing was Iesous or the Latin Iesus/Jesus. They also changed the names of the prophets EliYahu (whose name means 'my mighty one is Yah') and Elyesha (whose name means 'my mighty one saves'), to 'Elias' and 'Eliseus' (which means 'my mighty one is Zeus'). This was done so often that it later was the basis for their rules of written grammar which followed the common or vernacular spoken language."

MORE INFORMATIVE SOURCES
The term Lord is defined as, "A man of renowned power or authority." Yahshua said that all authority [power] had been GIVEN to him in heavan and in the earth (Mattithyah [Matthew] 28:18). It is also made known that Father Yahweh made His son Yahshua "Lord' (see: Acts 2:36) which simple refers to Father Yahweh GIVING His son authority [power]. This word "Lord" in reference to Father Yahweh's son Yahshua is not in reference to the Name Yahweh as many falsely teach.
"Does Not Always Mean Deity
While the Greek word kurios is used to translate the divine name of God, Jehovah or Yahweh, this is not always the case. The word can also mean a polite title like, "Sir."
For example, when a woman in Samaria addressed Jesus she used the same word kurios. However in this context it is translated, "Sir."
"Sir [kurios]," the woman said, "You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? (John 4:11).
They Are Not Necessarily Recognizing His Deity
The fact that Jesus is addressed as Lord does not necessarily mean that people acknowledged his Deity. The Greek word for Lord, kurios, can be used for God's name – Jehovah or Yahweh. However kurios can also be merely a polite way of addressing someone. For example, there are people apart from Jesus who are addressed as kurios in the New Testament.
Summary
In a number of places in the New Testament Jesus is called "Lord." The word translated Lord is from the Greek word kurios. At times it is merely a polite form of address. However at other times it is a translation of the divine name for God – Yahweh or Jehovah. The context must determine which is so."
