The name "Jesus Christ" is a mixture of Latin and Greek, attempting to translate Hebrew or Aramaic. "Jesus" is the Latin for the Hebrew name commonly translated as Joshua in English. "Christ" is from Greek "Christos" from the Hebrew for Messiah for "the anointed one". The man called Jesus was born "Yoshua". At that time, people usually only had one name with an added location or family (for example, Mary of Magdela or James (or Jacob), son of Zebedee). Jesus would have been called Yoshua ben Yosef (or "son of Joseph").
If you like scientific jokes: the "H" in the curse "Jesus H. Christ" could be for haploid! Think about it!

Jesus did not have a middle name. Actually his name is Christ Jesus. He was Christ before he was ever born on earth through the virgin named Mary.

Names did not work the same as they do now at that time in that place. He didn't have a middle name. He was likely referred to as "Jesus of Nazareth, son of Joseph of the Tribe of Judah." That would be the longest form of his name at the time.

Even though this is the wrong topic section, Jesus was his name and he was the Christ, which means savior, there was no middle or last name. He was also refered to as Jesus of Nazereth
