Jesus was a common name for male Hebrews during the time Jesus of Nazareth walked the earth. Christ is the word for the anointed one of God. The term Jesus the Christ or Christ Jesus is used to emphasize Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Mary and Joseph was the foretold Christ.

Jesus (8–2 BC/BCE to 29–36 AD/CE),[1] also known as Jesus of Nazareth, is the central figure of Christianity. He is also called Jesus Christ, where "Jesus" is an Anglicization of the Greek Ίησους (Iēsous), itself a transliteration of the Hebrew יהושע (Yehoshua) or Hebrew-Aramaic ישוע (Yeshua), meaning "YHWH is salvation"; and where "Christ" is a title derived from the Greek christós, meaning the "Anointed One", which corresponds to the Hebrew-derived "Messiah".

Jesus is a version of the Hebrew word Yeshua. That is what you hear his mom call him in Passion of Jesus Christ. Yeshua means something like savior.
Christ is from Greek Kristos was not his actual last name but a last name given to him because he is annointed.
In Hebrew "Christ" is Messhiah (Messiah in English)
So basically Jews would call Jesus Yeshua Messhiah , which means Savior Messiah, in Greek its Jesus Christ.

this is what i got
haha
Jesus
c.1175 (O.E. simply used hælend "savior"), from Gk. Iesous, attempt to render Aramaic proper name Jeshua (Heb. Yeshua) "Jah is salvation," a common Jewish personal name, the later form of Heb. Yehoshua (see Joshua). As an oath, attested from 1377. For Jesus H. Christ (1924), see I.H.S. First record of Jesus freak is from 1970. Jesu, common in M.E., is from the O.Fr. objective case.
the beggining says jesus means savior
Christ
O.E. crist, from L. Christus, from Gk. khristos "the anointed" (translation of Heb. mashiah, see messiah), from khriein "to rub, anoint," title given to Jesus of Nazareth. The L. term drove out O.E. hæland "healer" as the preferred descriptive term for Jesus. A title, treated as a proper name in O.E., but not regularly capitalized until 17c. Pronunciation with long -i- is result of Ir. missionary work in England, 7c.-8c. The Ch- form, regular since c.1500, was rare before. Christmas is O.E. Cristes mæsse and retains original vowel sound; Father Christmas first attested in a carol attributed to Richard Smart, Rector of Plymtree (Devon) from 1435-77. Christmas tree first attested 1835 in Amer.Eng., from Ger. Weihnachtsbaum. Christmas cards first designed 1843, popular by 1860s.
christ means the anointed

Jesus ( yeshua) meant salvation or God saves
Christ ( Messiah) means anointed one. the Jews were waiting for God's anointed one to save them but they expected a war lord to save them physically not spiritually which is what Jesus came to Do
