God the Father named Him: Luke 1 28And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
The name of Jesus Christ is a combination name and title. Jesus was a popular name, used by others at the time. In Hebrew it is Yeshua, and means "salvation." Matthew 1:21 says that an angel appeared to Jesus' father Joseph in a dream, assuring Him of God's plan for Mary's Child, and instructed that the Child be named Jesus, which is seen as a variant but fulfillment of the prophesied name Immanuel, which also means "God with us" (Isaiah 7:14). So Matthew 1:25 says that Joseph called Mary's child Jesus, as instructed.
Passages such as Matthew 16:16 and Matthew 26:63 show that Christ is a title, the Greek rendering of the Hebrew title Messiah. In Matthew 16:17, Christ accepted Peter's attribution of the title to Him as accurate-only one of many passages where Jesus claimed Messiahship and equality with God.
