It also differs from the Hebrew spelling Yeshu (ישו). The name Yeshua is also used in Israelite Hebrew historical texts to refer to other Joshuas recorded in Greek texts such as Jesus ben Ananias and Jesus ben Sira.
It differs from the usual Hebrew Bible spelling of Joshua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ y'hoshuaʿ), found 218 times in the Hebrew Bible, in the absence of the consonant he ה and placement of the semivowel vav ו after, not before, the consonant shin ש. Once for Joshua the son of Nun, and 28 times for Joshua the High Priest and (KJV "Jeshua") and other priests called Jeshua – although these same priests are also given the spelling Joshua in 11 further instances in the books of Haggai and Zechariah. The Hebrew spelling Yeshua (ישוע) appears in some later books of the Hebrew Bible. The name corresponds to the Greek spelling Iesous, from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus. Yeshua (ישוע, with vowel pointing יֵשׁוּעַ – yēšūă‘ in Hebrew) was a common alternative form of the name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ ("Yehoshua" – Joshua) in later books of the Hebrew Bible and among Jews of the Second Temple period. But I also think Carrier has misappropriated Philo's interpretation of the High Priest in Zechariah in alluding to Jesus/Ishu. There isn't too much of a difference between the name/titles of Yeshu (ישו) and the divine figure Ishu (איש). Indeed, Hurtado is either ignorant or misinformed, but the Angel who wrestled with Jacob and appeared in the burning bush was identified as Ishu, later configured as Isu, and is confirmed by Justin to be the same as Jesus. Yeshu ben Stada may also not be an actual name, but a prophetic title, mocked and ridiculed in rabbinical sources.
This implies that it was actually in the Temple in Alexandria wherein he learned the name of God and etched it onto his flesh, afterwards returning to Palestine and performing "miracles". If the Toledot Yeshu is reconciling ben Notzri and ben Stada/Pandira (two different figures from two different periods, in my opinion), than the above is referring to ben Stada bringing back magic incarnations through tattoos or cuts made into his skin. Yeshu later went to the Jerusalem Temple and learned the letters of God's ineffable name.
