Christ was not actually Jesus' last name. The Jews didn't actually use last names. Instead they would refer to a person's parentage (Jesus, son of Joseph or Jesus, son of Mary). Christ refers to the Messiah.

Jesus Christ has many names, but none are considered middle names. Officially, Jesus has no middle name as that wasn't a tradition in ancient Hebrew culture. Also, Christ is not Jesus's last name.

That is a wonderful question, but the Bible does not use much punctuation, so in reality, speaking of the grammar, it is suppose to be written Jesus, Christ. not Jesus Christ. As many references in the KJV of the Bible, is Christ Jesus, written correctly Christ, Jesus, or Jesus, Christ. It is referring to Christ.


Jesus's last name?

surname = family name so you could say either son of Joseph or son of God surname means literally name above, and since there is no name higher than Jesus he can't have a surname!

What is Jesus' sir name?

If one assumes that Jews in 1st Century Palestine carried their father's name as surname, the most likely form of the name would be "Jesus bar Joseph," or "Yeshua bar Yosef;" literally, Jesus, son of Joseph, since his mother was married to the carpenter Joseph. However, it was quite common for a person to be known by his or her home town, in which case the name would be Jesus of Nazareth. This seems to be the name by which Jesus Christ was known.
