Immanuel is derived from the Hebrew word "Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14). "Emmanuel" is derived from the Greek word in the New Testament (Matthew 1:23). Both spellings mean "God with us". Both spellings are correct.
Remember that the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, a language that did not have vowels (e.g. 'e' or 'i'). So when the Hebrew was translated into Greek (i.e. the Septuagint), the translators rendered the Greek "Emmanuel" based on pronunciation not on a particular spelling. Later when the Hebrew vowel were added by Masoretic scholars, a vowel was added which modern scholars typically render as an 'i' rather than an 'e.'
It is important to keep in mind that many ancient languages did not have fixed spellings, but instead spelled words based upon their sound. This was the problem that led Noah Webster to create the dictionary, to establish in America a standard spelling.

Is the name Jesus connected to the name Emmanuel linearly?
----------------------- The only biblical connection between Jesus and the name Emmanuel (or Immanuel) is in Matthew's attempt to show that Isaiah 7:14 was a prophecy that a virgin would conceive, and that virgin would be Mary, mother of Jesus. This is not what Isaiah actually intended to say, because the original Hebrew for Isaiah 7:14 only said that "the young woman" would have a child and would call his name Immanuel, and the young woman did have a child just a few verses later in the Book of Isaiah.
In the NIV Bible how many times does Emmanuel appear?
Twice. Once in Isaiah : 7:14 Behold a young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call him Immanuel (Emmanuel). And once in Matthew 1:23 Behold ...shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God is with us. According to some theologians this word, Emmanuel is a title, and not a person's name. Regardless, other than this tiny little reference in Matthew, Jesus was never refered to by anyone as Emmanuel.
