>Never realized it was the same name, just transliterated differently in English,
Theres an even bigger example of this that the DRB actually explains pretty well, namely Jesus Himself. The Name "Jesus" is actually the exact same as "Joshua" in Hebrew, and it was widely believed by the Church Fathers that Moses' protégé pre-figured Christ in many ways, not just by sharing the same name. Joshua brought the Israelite Nations into the Holy Land in the same manner that Christ opened the way to Heaven for His followers.
