Did Jesus take his mother's maiden name, his earthly father's, or his heavenly father's last name?

Question

Mary Christ

Joseph Christ

God Christ

Answer 1

Lord Jesus took his first name from his his Father's nurse and Christ directly from his Father. When Shri Krishna (i.e. God the Father) was born he too had a local king bent on destroying him who ordered all children under a certain age to be killed. In order to avoid this Shri Krishna was taken and replaced by a little girl named Vishnumaya. The Mother of Vishnumaya was Yeshoda, known as Jesu and She raised Shri Krishna. Jesus means "One who brings auspiciousness" and "Christ" Seed. Seed of auspiciousness. "Krishna" has its roots in agricultural terms and meant "To make ready or prepare the field" and the Bhagavad Gita makes a great play on words with this in that the agricultural field becomes a battle field and also the subtle field in which human beings are guided by the ensuing conversation on the field of battle with Arjuna.

The Great Poet, Seer and Prophet William Blake celebrates his 250th anniversary this year and his vision of reality was that all religions are one. There is only one God.

Answer 2

Back then they did not have last names, it was until later with the growth of the population that a last name was instituted.
Jesus was called Jesus the son of Joseph or the son of the carpenter. Or even Jesus from Nazareth. Back then there were many Jesus's or John's with no last names.

This title from the Greek Khristos′ is equivalent to the Hebrew Mashi′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.

Answer 3

Neither. Back then, they referred to many people like such: Joseph the son of.....or Mary the daughter of.....etc

Christ is the English translation of the Greek word Χριστός (Christós), which literally means The Anointed One. The word was originally used to translate the Hebrew word מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ), that is Messiah.

The word is often misunderstood to be the surname of Jesus due to the numerous mentions of Jesus Christ in the Christian Bible. The word is in fact a title, hence its common reciprocal use Christ Jesus, meaning The Anointed One, Jesus. To clarify this, Jesus is sometimes referred to as "the Christ". Followers of Jesus became known as Christians because they believed that Jesus was the Christ, or Messiah

Answer 4

Assuming this is a serious question, people in the time of Jesus didn't handle names the way we do today. One had a personal name (Yeshua/Jesus), and if clarification was needed, one added the name of the father (bar Yusef/son of Joseph) or the name of one's hometown (of Nazareth).

"Christ" is a title meaning "anointed". It was not treated like a name until after Jesus was gone. In the gospels, Jesus was occasionally refered to as "the Christ" and Paul uses both "Jesus Christ" and "Christ Jesus".

Answer 5

Christ isn't a last name ... He was known as "Jesus the Christ"

Christ is the English translation of the Greek word Christós, which literally means The Anointed One. The word was originally used to translate the Hebrew word מašía, that is Messiah.

The word is often misunderstood to be the surname of Jesus due to the numerous mentions of Jesus Christ in the Christian Bible. The word is in fact a title, hence its common reciprocal use Christ Jesus, meaning The Anointed One, Jesus. To clarify this, Jesus is sometimes referred to as "the Christ".

Answer 6

Christ is not a family name, it is a title given to Jesus. Christ means the Annointed One, Chosen One, Messiah or Higher Consciousness. People in the Middle East carries no family name. They are either called by their first name followed by the place they were born and raised. Like Jesus of Nazareth, or in most cases by the name of the prominent figure of the family, like Joseph son of Jacob.

Answer 8

People didn't have last names then. People were known by one name and where they were from, what they did for a living, what tribe they were a member of, etc. Take a look at your own last name, chances are that it is derived from a place name or a profession from your ancestors.

Jesus was known as Jesus of Nazareth. John the Baptist baptized people, so he was known by that name.

Answer 9

I think surnames came into use in the Middle Ages. In Biblical society, place of origin was often used to identify people. Hence, Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph of Arimathea, and so on.

Judas Iscariot: Iscariot looks like a surname, but look at the reference below.

Answer 10

Christ was not Jesus's last name. Jesus was his name, and he was Christ. We say Jesus Christ.

People in those times called him Jesus of Nazareth.
