Well, actually, during Jesus' time, people did not call him Jesus Christ, because that 's the title we know Him by, AD.
The names, in those days would be the first or given name, followed by "son of" and ending with "of the place".
Considering that He was Aramaic, it would have been Yeshua [or the shorter Isa], his given name, ben Yosip or son of Joseph and el Nazrany or of Nazereth.
There are some who think His family or tribe was Barrabas and if we include that, it would have been Yeshua ben Yosip Barrabi el Nazrany.
The people, in those days, simply called Him -"Master", or Teacher.
Jesus Christ came from the Greco-Roman translations, by the way.
Merry Christmas!!!!

His Hebrew name (in English letters) was Yeshau, which means Savior. The Greek name for Savior is "Ιεσυς", or "Jesus". In Hebrew the term for "anointed" or Messiah, though an actual transliteration would be more like Mashiah", and the Greek form of anointed is Χριστος, or Christ. Virtually everything back then was spoken in Greek, the only exceptions might be in one's private home or in a religious temple. But on the streets, everyone spoke Greek, or if they were addressing a soley Jewish audience they might speak Aramaic, which is nothing more than the street version of Hebrew.
So in short, Jesus Christ is Greek for "savior anointed" and Christ is more of a title than an actual name. People did not really have last names back then; i.e. Paul of Tarsus (his home); Pontius Pilate (Pilate served in the wars against Pontius so Pontius is more like a title/nickname); and so on and so forth.

I'm not an expert, so don't quote me.... but, Jesus' name was pronounced "Ye-shuwa" Obviously, that's not the correct spelling, but Just so you know how it was pronounced.
I think when the New Testament was translated into Greek, the name Jesus was used. I guess that was the closest translation??
The name "Christ" is Greek, and it means ' messiah '.
p.s. God and Jesus have numerous names, probably over 100!!
So I don't think Jesus is mad at people calling him the 'wrong' name. I think he would be happy people are speaking of him, unless it is to curse.

Hey Steven, Hello,
Take the name Charles for an example. This is how it is pronounced in English, but in Spanish, its Carlos. So if I was in Mexico and them parts, that's what they would call me. But here in the good ole USA, its Charles.
Jesus Christ is Yahaveh's Saviour. And Christ means anointed.
There is so much more for you waiting to be read in the Word of God. Go there now.><>

Its Yeshua. You can still call Him Yeshua if you like. The translaters just wanted to make His name more compatible to English. It's like my name is Michael - in France it is Michelle, Russia it's Mikael etc. Your name is Steven and it is a popular name in other countries but they would not pronounce your name the same way as Engish speakers do.

they did not have very last names decrease back then, except in China. human beings would each from time to time upload some thing to distinguish those who had the same given call. Christ is the English time period for the Greek ??????? (Khristós) meaning "the anointed". that's extra a identify, like "Alexander the finished", than a surname. beforehand human beings gave Him that call, He may were Jesus of Nazareth, the way "York", a elementary English surname, replaced into for human beings from York. If he discovered Joseph's commerce He may were "Jesus the chippie", the way human beings as we talk are named practice dinner, Smith, Baker, and so on. he mighthave been "Jesus son of Joseph" - see "Peterson" and "Johnson" as we talk. If he had a light-weight or darkish complexion he may were "Jesus the White" or "Jesus the Black"; "White" and "Black" are surnames as we talk. no one knows. maximum those who wrote about Him were in touch at the same time with his moral and moral teachings, not his early existence. after all, if he were named "Ralph" or "David" or "William", does not His teachings be basically as valid? concentration on the message, not the trivial information.
