Shlama Akhi Carlos,
Hypothetically speaking, if an angel appeared to you in a dream and told you to "name your son Rex, for he will be a king one day", would that conversation necessarily have to occur in Latin ? Would you know enough, as a speaker of English (rooted in Latin), to understand him ?
The names of Mariam and Yosef weren't Aramaic, either. Yet that is surely what they spoke as an everyday language.
Every Assyrian couple who names their child "Sargon" knows it's from the ancient Akkadian "Sharrukin" (true prince), even though we don't speak Akkadian anymore.
The angel could have spoken Aramaic, Latin, Chinese, or even Greek to Mary, and she still should have understood what "Yeshua" meant (it's a very common name, even to today). And even if she didn't understand, he went on to explain it to her .... did he not ?
