Greek: Χριστός (Christós), which literally means The Anointed One, for the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ).

The title “Christ,” or “Messiah” (al-Masīḥ), means “Anointed One.” (Matthew 3:13-17) From that time onward, he preached “the good news of the kingdom of God.”

The personal name of Jesus followed by the title Christ may call attention to the person himself and that he is the one who became the Anointed One of Jehovah. This occurred when he reached about 30 years of age, was baptized in water, and was anointed with God's spirit visibly observed in the form of a dove descending upon him. This is the point Peter made at Pentecost: “God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus,” evidently recalling the expression he had heard from the lips of Jesus, who first used the term “Jesus Christ.” (Ac 2:36-38) This expression “Jesus Christ” is also used in the opening and closing words of the Christian Greek Scriptures.

the expression “anointed one” was properly applied to others before Jesus, such as Moses, Aaron, and David (Heb 11:24-26; Le 4:3; 8:12; 2Sa 22:51), the position, office, or service to which these were anointed only prefigured the superior position, office, and service of Jesus Christ. Jesus is therefore preeminently and uniquely “the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

This title from the Greek Khri·stos´ is equivalent to the Hebrew Ma·shi´ach, “Messiah; Anointed One.” (Compare Mt 2:4, ftn.) “Christ” is not a mere appellative added to distinguish the Lord Jesus from others of the same name; it is an official title

The Greek word Christ means Anointed One.
In Hebrew it would be Messiah.

Christ is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word Messiah, which means Anointed One. It signifies one who is under the special appointment and enablement of God, to perform a given task. It was used in a general sense of the kings of Israel, and in a specific and prophetic sense of the Coming One, who would establish a future eternal Kingdom on the throne of David, according to many Old Testament passages.
One example:
"Why are the nations in an uproar,
and the peoples devising a vain thing?
The kings of the earth take their stand,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against His ANOINTED ONE,
(saying) "Let us tear their fetters apart,
and cast away their cords from us!"

He who sits in the heavens laughs,
The Lord scoffs at them.
Then He will speak to them in His anger,
and terrify them in his fury,
(saying) "As for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion,
My holy mountain."

"I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord;
He said to Me "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You."
Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance,
And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron,
You will shatter them like earthenware."

Now therefore, O kings, show discernment;
Take warning O judges of the earth.
Worship the Lord with reverence, and rejoice with trembling.
Do homage to the Son, lest He become angry,
and you perish in the way,
For His anger may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him! " (Psalm 2)

Chrsit is Greek for "anointed one."
Generally equal to "Messiah" in Hebrew.
Jesus the Anointed One is the clear meaning.

In Hebrew it means Messiah.

The interpretation is Anointed one I think.

Anointed One. He was anointed, or consecrated by the spirit of God to be the one to deliver us from sin.

Set apart.
