JC would have been known by his fathers name,
Y*shuah ben Yosef, (J*sus son of Joseph) or by where he hailed from (J*sus of Nazareth)
Ben means "son of" and bat means "daughter of"
ben would always be followed by the fathers name, while bat would always be followed by the mothers name.

forgive me for my confusion. some say Jesus is the son of God. Others say that Jesus is God. Since little, i've always wonder how Jesus can be the son of God and the God at the same time. If Jesus is God, then God was baby who was born with blood all over him, need to be feed, and have to learn. And later, the great God was murdered by some weak human? God should be better than that. And now some people say that he have child. So, that baby would be like the grandchild of God and also the child of God? So much confusion. Maybe it is you who've been confused. Who have the final say then? God-father, Jesus-God or baby-Jesus God? lets have some critical thinking about that. i'm going to convert to religion with only one God. life should be simple. simple is good, but not any simpler.what about you?

Jesus didn't have a last name. He probably went by the name Yeshua ben Yousef - Jesus son of Joseph. It was customary to be identified by your father among his people.

Back then they did not need a last name. That came later.

Surnames did not start being used until the Middle Ages, when the population had increased to the point that they became necessary.

Culturally they were known as "son of" -- so Jesus would all likely be known as Yeshua bar (son of) Joseph. Ultimately, he is known as the Son of God.
