The word does not appear in The Bible at all, the term Christianity was coined long after the New Testament was written, the word Christian is only used three times and even that was not a popular word back then, but was a sort of a nickname that the unbelievers came up with to refer to the followers of Christ, same as you would call someone a Jesus freak nowadays.
Christianity was referred to as "that way" (Acts 19:9, 19:23, 24:22) "the sect of the Nazarenes" (Acts 24:5) or most commonly as "the faith". Christians were called the disciples, the saints and the believers.
