So according to the article's translation, Caiaphas' son was "Yeshua". That is one transcription of the name Jesus. Weird. Probably just a sloppy job of reporting and/or translating.

Yeshua was the name of the guy who led the children of Israel into the promised land. It was also the name of the Jesus. Hmm, imagine, Jesus leading his people into the promised land. Jesus = Yeshua = Joshua.

It was a common name.
