Another confusion!

Daniel has explained that "Allah" and "God" is the same. John is saying "Isaa" or "Essa" and "John" are 2 different personalities. Before I ask for an explanation, John, your right name should be "Yahya". But European Christians euopeanize "Yahya" to "John". I can guess that the name "Yahya" in Arabic might be close to its Aramaic counterpart. Now please give references that show that Essa" and "John" are two different personalities. Please ask the Greeks who first translated the Bible from Aramaic to Greek (I am not sure).
