When the Greeks first used the Name of the Messiah in Texts, the Name was in Aramaic, so they needed a Greek equivalent. They used the Hebrew Name 'Yeshua' (which means 'salvation') as "Jesus"  -  the 'J' pronounced 'ie', as in Dies Irae. This is the Greek form of the word and name. The Germans dis this as well, and in translating 'yeshua' from the Old Test. or 'jesus' from the New Test., they translated to a German word, instead of considering it as a personal name. This was "Heiland". The English did the same and have "Healend". 

Jesus' Name Is:
"Yeshua" in Hebrew and Aramaic,
"Jesus" in Greek,
"Heiland" in German, Dutch and Afrikaans, and
"Healend" in English.

This practice has since disappeared, of course, but in some Old and Middle English Texts, 'Healend' is used for the very Name of the Messiah. Now, it is only used as a description of the Messiah or of YHWH.

Interesting, huh?
If you require more knowledge and a fuller etymology of the word, see the Oxford English Dictionary, a few Bible verses, and a good concordance.

The choral is an improvisation with a choir and string sample in Cubase.
