Christ

Christ is a boy's and girl's baby name of Greek origin, from the Greek Khristos, meaning 'the anointed one' — the Greek translation of the Hebrew Mashiach (Messiah). It refers to Jesus of Nazareth in Christian tradition.

Used as a given name primarily in Greek, Scandinavian, and some Latin American communities, Christ carries the most theologically significant meaning in Christian tradition. In Greece, names like Christos and Hristo are common diminutives; in the U.S., it appears most often in communities where deep religious devotion expresses itself directly in naming.
