During the time of Jesus, people did not have last names, Jesus full name spoken in Hebrew would be 'Yeshua bar Yosef', or Jesus son of Joseph. So where does Christ come from? And what does it mean?
I looked this up and found that CHRIST really means MESSIAH.
'Christ' is an anglicized form of the Greek word Christos (Matthew 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 the word "Christ" appears 555 times in 522 verses) Christos has the same meaning as the Hebrew 'mashiyach {maw-shee-akh} ' which is rendered 'messiah' in the king James and most other translations. It means 'the Anointed One and or his Anointing'.
