No, there wasn't, because Jesus was not a name at that time.
What? Jesus is a Latinized version of Yeshua, a name that did exist in abundance, at the time.
From the wiki:
""
Jesus /ˈdʒiːzəs/ used in the English language originates from the Latin form of the Greek name Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous), a rendition of the Hebrew Yeshua (ישוע), also having the variants Joshua or Jeshua.

In between his tirades against the believers, Minimalist does give us some proper history and this is one piece that he taught me. The name existed... it has been translated, as many names were back then.
There are many examples of other proper names that got translated in order to sound proper in the other language:
- Lisboa (PT) => Lisbon (UK) => Lissabon (DE)
- London (UK) => Londres (PT)
- Berlin (DE) => Berlim (PT)
- Roma (IT) => Rome (UK)
- Stuttgart (DE) => Stoccarda(IT) => Estugarda (PT)
- Petros (GR) => Pierre (FR) => Peter (UK) => Pedro (PT) <~~~ Bar Yona(Hebrew) (what the?! how does that stone analogy work?)
