I believe that back then names did not function the way that they do today. Instead of a first and last name, you would have more likely been identified as "James, son of Adam", or something like that. That's where names like "adamson" come from. Could be wrong though!

Christ or Messiah was a title given to Jesus as recorded in the New Testament and not a surname.
