The title of Christ was given to Jesus from the Greek word “Savior.” Why? Well, in Hebrew, Christ translates to the denotation of “the anointed one.” Jesus’s followers commonly believed that he was the anointed son of David (David from David and Goliath story), and Jesus was expected to restore Israel from its misfortune. This also means the name “Christ” was given to Jesus and as a result of this, Christians believe his crucifixion and resurrection prove him to be the Messiah (because they align with the prophecies of the Messiah in the Old Testament).

Your final answer: The title of Christ was given to Jesus from the Greek word “Savior.” This translates to “christos” in Greek, which then translates to “Messiah” in Hebrew.
