OK.. so whatever happened to Joseph Christ... or Mary Christ? ... or did they just name this child Jesus Christ... or is God's name Christ?.. and where Mary and Joseph married? or do you think Joseph had a different surname?
How did people get a name for themselves 2 000 years ago?

Christ - from Greek "Christos" - "anointed."
Confused by the Christians with the Hebrew concept of the "Messiah" because that word also happens to mean "anointed."
But the "Christ" is an ancient, pre-Christian, "Gnostic," "mystical" conception, and there is nothing at all like it in any of the writings of the Hebrews, who were basically materialists. The Messiah they expected was merely a priest-king of the line of David who would deliver his people from the Roman yoke and restore the legendary glories of the race. The confusion of this idea with that of the "Christ" is just one example of the mingling of Jewish and "pagan" ideas that resulted in "Christianity."
But as usual, I'm answering this question too seriously...lol.

His actual name was Yeshua Bar Yosef (Joshua Bar Joseph) They were probably married in the Galilee region of Israel, and Josephs last name was Bar whatever the name of HIS father was. Like Bar Asher. Christ is from the Greek translation. Kristos means "Christ" and Mosaich means messiah in Hebrew.

Christ is the English term for the Greek word Χριστός (Christós), which literally means "The Anointed One." The Hebrew word for Christ is מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ, usually transliterated Messiah).

You know that Christ is not a last name. "Christ" comes from the Greek word Christos which translates the Hebrew term Masiah, meaning "Anointed One."

"Christ" is not a last name. I'm pretty sure it means messiah or something.

It might a "nom de plume" had Jesus actually written anything, but he didn't.
