The Hebrew word is משיח (pronounced mah-shee-ahkh). It literally means anointed one. In ancient times, the word referred to any Jewish king or priest.
It's not an exact correspondence though, because the word Christ only refers to Jesus in modern use. But the word Messiah or Mashiach is a more broad term.
