Matthew 1:23 "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call Him Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
Hello Zack. The Name 'Jesus' is an anglicized Name from the Greek, Iesous (pr. ee-ay-soos). And this Name also has a Hebrew equivalent, as seen in the Old Testament (Joshua/Yehoshua). So Jesus/Iesous/Yehoshua all mean the same: "Yahweh is Savation".
And when the title, Christ', is added to Jesus' Name, the Greek is 'Christos' (the Anointed One, Messiah). Even though, Christos, can be a name, especially in Greece, the full Name of Jesus Christ (or, Jesus the Christ), can never be given to any person, as this remains solely reserved to the Holy One Who came down from God to Earth as a Man for Sacrifice for our sins.
If you need any more help about this Divine Name or about the Person of Jesus Christ, there are many here who can help you and answer all your questions.
You are right Chris. Christ is not a surname. Ancient people didn't have surnames by they used a characteristic of them to distinguish them from others who had the same name. Often that was their father's name or the city/place they came from or both or something else. So the right is Jesus the Christ/ Jesus the annointed one.
In the Hebrew and Greek Bibles Jesus is the same as Joshua. So in these Bibles it is Jesus (Hbr Yehoshua) son of Nun.
In eastern culture, so when Mary was told at conception to name the child
When born Jesus which is ,(God with us, saviour ) that was a big deal in
Eastern culture because no one in the family was called this. When Zachariah
Was told by the angel about John the Baptist before birth to name him John
And didn't believe he was shut up until the day he was named and called him
John which blew away all the relatives. It's a good thing Mary said to Gabriel
Be it unto me according to thy word.
