Surnames were not used in the place and time where Jesus lived. They did sometimes use town names to differentiate between people, such as "Judas Iscariot," which meant "Judas from the town of Kerioth." As Jesus was seen as Joseph's 'son' he would possibly have been known as Jesus bar Joseph - the Jewish equivalent of 'son of' that we still use today in names like 'Johnson' - as surnames as such were unheard of in those days. Alternately he would have been known as Jesus of Nazareth, or even Jesus the Carpenter, from Joseph's (and presumably his own) profession. What IS certain is that Jesus' surname is not 'Christ'. This is his title - Jesus the Christ, Jesus the Messiah, Jesus the Anointed One all mean the same thing - in the same way that we say Queen Elizabeth or President Bush
