No. The word 'messiah' is the anglicised form of the Hebrew "moshiach". Moshiach is a title given to any man who is properly anointed with oil as part of his induction to his service of HaShem (The Creator). As Judaism is strictly monotheistic, claiming that a person is HaShem is considered an abomination according to the teachings of Judaism.

What do Jews call the Messiah?

Jews call "the Messiah" as "the Messiah" or in Hebrew "HaMoshiach" (המשיח). However, as opposed to other religions, such as Christianity or Islam, Judaism does not believe that the Messiah has come yet and therefore is not identified with any person. For example, Jews don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah and, therefore, do not accept the Christian or Islamic claims that he was a God prophet or God/son of God.

What made Jews believe that they were messiah?

Jews do not believe they personally are the messiah. Rather, Jews believe they were chosen to introduce ethical monotheism (the belief in one God) to a pagan and polytheistic world. When Judaism emerged as a religion, it was in fact the first to promote the worship of only one Deity. In the Hebrew Bible (what Christians refer to as the "Old Testament" and Jews call the Tanakh), it says that God (whom Muslims call Allah) will send the messiah, but it does not say when this will occur. Since the idea of a promised messiah can be found in the Hebrew Bible, it is not surprising that some people believe he will be Jewish.Christians believe Jesus (who was in fact Jewish) was the promised messiah, but Jews do not agree with this. Jews believe the messiah has not come yet, and they do not believe Jesus did what the messiah was supposed to do. So Jews wait for the messiah, who will be sent when God decides to send him. What religion the messiah will be is up to God; but the Bible clearly states that in the final days, there will be no more prejudice and everyone will unite to worship the one God together.
