I mean that different cultures and languages use different names. In Hebrew it's Yeshua. Or names such as Christ, Messiah, Light, Savior, Lamb of God. Jesus is what English speakers call Him; I just would like something for the Taernans in my story to call Him.

Jesus comes from the Hebrew name Yeshewa, which means "God Saves," which is translated into Joshua in the Old Testament, if that's any help. Going off the name you have for God, Perhaps Alam? Just a suggestion.
And as for the question about Romance - no, not all books need to have a Romance - My Ankulen only has the barest romantic subplot between two side characters, and they were both imaginary. However, advice: I've found Marriage Counselling Books to be an invaluable resource for learning how to write romance (there's some great ones by Focus on the Family). Kinda weird, but here me out - they focus on the relationship, and not the ooey-gooey feelings, and almost all of them will break apart the "why you fell in love in the first place."

LadyErika Promise's Prayer? How about... Mishen. It's Hebrew, and I believe it means Promised One. If you want I'll look through my notes. (I was gonna use it for my Jesus character, but decided Corwin.)
