A transliteration from the Hebrew term 'Messiah' to the Greek New Testament, chrio/christos meaning 'anointed or chosen one' - a title given to Jesus:
Luke 4:18-19New King James Version (NKJV)
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
No. Christ is the English translation of the koine Greek word Χριστός (Kristos) which is a title that means one who is anointed. This is used to refer to Jesus of Nazareth (Jesus Christ) as a messianic figure, or "Jesus the anointed".
Jesus never had a last name. Christ is more of a title than an actual name
Christ means the "Anointed One", similar to Messiah. It is a title, not a last name (Jesus most likely would have been known as Jesus, son of Joseph). It is used uniquely in the Christian Scriptures (NT) to refer only to Jesus of Nazareth.
Did you mean 'the term messiah'? In Hebrew (mashiah or the modern Mashiach), it means "the anointed", often with the word meleḵ: "the Anointed King." In Greek, it's khristos: Christ -- the title given to Jesus (which comes from the Hebrew Yeshua, which means "Jah [God] is salvation."So, Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah prophesied in the (Hebrew) Old Testament -- and will return in the last days to completely fulfill the prophesies as the mighty King to bring ultimate peace.
'Christ' comes from the Greek word for 'anointed', and the Hebrew word is 'messiah' (approximately). The ancient Jews anointedtheir kings and high priests, and the first-century Jews hoped for a new messiah to liberate their nation. The early Christians saw Jesus as this longed-for messiah. So, 'Christ' is a title, not a name - in English, Jesus Christ means 'Jesus the anointed one'.
The word "Christ" comes from the Greek word "Christos," which means "anointed one" or "chosen one." It is a title used to refer to Jesus, emphasizing his role as the savior and Messiah in Christianity.

'The anointed one'
To put oil on a person who has been chosen, is called anointing. In Hebrew, the word moshiach means "anointed." The title of moshiach was given to any person who was appropriately anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of God. The Israelites have had a number of meshichim (plural) in the form of kings and priests.
The title given to the Gospel writers is "Evangelist," which means a person who shares the Christian message or "good news." They were called Evangelists because they were responsible for spreading the teachings and stories of Jesus Christ through their writings.
