Christ is the English term for the Greek Khristós meaning "the anointed." It is a translation of the Hebrew Ma'îah. The word is sometimes misunderstood to be the surname of Jesus due to the numerous mentions of Jesus Christ in the Christian Bible. The word is in fact a title, hence its common reciprocal use Christ Jesus, meaning The Anointed One, Jesus.
