Thats a funny one!
I would guess it was Jesus Joseph or Bar-Joseph (son of Joseph)
it could also be Bar-David, (he comes from the line of king David) Judah (his tribe) or Capenter (his occupation)
But Who really cares. I know that he is the son of God! :)

The Bible never mentioned a last name but In Biblical time they would refer to JESUS as Jesus the son of Joseph.

Probably something like Yeshua Bar Joseph, meaning Jesus son of Joseph. People from the first century Israel did not have last names as we do today but identifies as to who's son they were.

Firstly, he was not called by the Latinized variation "Jesus" that's used today, so he wasn't "Jesus" anything. His Hebrew name is Yeshu / Yeshua.
In his time he would have been known as Yeshu ben Yosef (which, translated into modern lingo, is Joshua, son of Joseph).

They did not have last names back then. Often your last name would be your home town. Hence Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph of Armethea, Mary Magdalene (Magdala was in northern Israel), Paul of Tarsus, etc.

I always thought it was Christ!
Gees. I was under the impression they didn't really use last names. You were Joseph son of Jacob.
You know, like Worf son of Moog

Barioseph.?
People did not have last names back then. They usually followed their first name with "bar," followed by the name of their father.
In Greek: Iosephides.

last names or family names are a relatively modern thing.
people where named after their father, place where they lived or their job.
so modern names ending in s or son like johnson mean son of john,
also names beginning o' , mc or mac also mean son of
last names from jobs include cartwright, fletcher and smith
jesus didn't have a last name.

In Jewish culture he would have been known as "Jesus bar Joseph" which means Jesus, son of Joseph. (That is what people thought.
Of course his real name was Jesus bar Jehovah.
