It means that you're a follower of Jesus Christ, you believe that he is the Son of God, that The Bible is God's word (and that all in it, being God's word, is true), and try to follow it as closely as possible.
As for how it became applied to the followers, I'll simply say that his name was Jesus Christ, and so the following of him is Christianity...
