Accepted answer
Jesus is a translation of the Greek Ιησούς. It is the Greek version of the Hebrew ישוע (Yeshua). ישוע (Yeshua) comes from the Hebrew יהושע which is transliterated Yehoshu. This is translated as Joshua. Jesus spoke Hebrew at that time, as well as most Jews. Peter is a translation of Πέτρος (Pétros). This is a Greek version of the Hebrew כיפא (Keypha') which means "Rock".
