Where did the name "Isa" come from?

We as Christians in Arabic say Jesus's name as "Yeso2", in Hebrew its "Yeshua". Now, the Quran is originally in Arabic, so how come it's "Isa" and not "Yeso2" ?

Wikipedia said:
ʿĪsā is used as well by several Christian groups in Muslim countries. A 14th-century Persian translation of Matthew, one of the earliest surviving Persian manuscripts of the scripture, uses ʿĪsā.[1] Later translations in other languages also follow suit.

From what I know, especially according to universities and my university, Wikipedia isn't a trust worthy source, since anyone can edit texts on it. It's good to get basic knowledge from it, but not that reliable...

You're right, it is not a reliable source sometimes, that's why I made sure that the part which I quoted is provided with a reliable reference...
In this manuscript you can obviously notice the word "Isa"
