The name Christos carries a powerful meaning, representing the ultimate symbol of salvation and redemption. It is associated with the birth of Jesus Christ and is thus a symbol of hope and faith. From Greek Χριστός (Christos) meaning "anointed", derived from χρίω (chrio) meaning "to anoint". This was a name applied to Jesus by early Greek-speaking Christians. It is a translation of the Hebrew word מָשִׁיחַ (mashiyach), commonly spelled in English messiah, which also means "anointed".This is a Modern Greek name as well.
