Names at that time would have been based on ones father’s name. Therefore Jesus would have been referred to as Yoshuah ben Joseph. Or Jesus son of Joseph. Surnames had not yet been used, although trades where sometimes used, just as we have today, James Taylor, who’s ancestor was probably a taylor, or Matt Brewer, who probably had an ancestor who brewed mead or beer, but those names where primarily later and Western European.
