Christ, the anointed; the Savior of the world.
I know that when Messiah cometh, who is called Christ, he will tell us all things. Jesus answered her, I that speak to thee am he. John 4.
CHRIST THE ANOINTED; an appellation given to the Savior of the World, and synonymous with the Hebrew Messiah. It was a custom of antiquity to consecrate persons to the sacerdotal and regal offices by anointing them with oil.

christ (english)==messiah(arabic) , they are both a names for jesus (isa in arabic) (peace be upon him).and he is called so(massieh, from massh(to rub) V. in arabic) for his miracles,(on rubing the blind and the lepry so become cured) something in his description(about his foot) , or for something for his pious , and all derived from the meaning of the word (massh the verb in arabic).
sorry! don't know the exact translation so don't want to confuse u.
EDIT:I FOUND SOMETHING FOR U :
The word messiah is an anglicized form of the Hebrew word, moshiach. Its root word, mashach, is found about 140 times in the Old Testament, and means “to smear, anoint, or spread.”
Mashach in Hebrew or masaha (literally to rub, to massage) in Arabic, has the meaning of anointing someone in a religious ceremony by putting holy water or oil on them. Priests and kings were anointed when being consecrated to their offices. Prophets were anointed by God in the sense that they were specially chosen by God for a specific religious mission.
