The fake Jews called Samaritans changed the sacred Hebrew text; Jerome changed most of the divine names in his Latin Vulgate, and Islam finished the job by eliminating them entirely in the unholy Koran.
Here is a list of most of the divine names of The ETERNAL in the Old Covenant. Names DO NOT translate but transliterate from language to language and almost always sound the same in every language.
For instance, Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi is not called Joseph Green in English; nor is Italian Hero Giuseppe Garibaldi called Joseph Garibaldi in English. Julius Caesar is still called Julius Caesar as William Shakespeare is called William Shakespeare throughout the world.
The names of the false gods of the heathen changed from language to language as Zeus in Greek and Jupiter in Latin or Artemis in Greek and Diana or Venus in Latin!!

Joshua the son of Nun is mentioned in 2 places in the New Covenant, and in both places, Jerome substitutes Jesus:
Which also our fathers receiving, brought in with Jesus, into the possession of the Gentiles: whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David. (Acts 7:45, Latin Vulgate Version).
Here is that same verse from the Greek New Testament:
Which our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the days of David. (Acts 7:45, Greek New Testament).
Here is another verse where Jerome used Jesus instead of Joshua:
For if Jesus had given them rest he would never have afterwards spoken of another day. (Hebrews 4:8, Latin Vulgate Version).
Here is that verse from the Greek New Testament:
For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. (Hebrews 4:8, Greek New Testament).
