The Greek word "chrisma" means the oil used in anointing and consequently, the Greek word "christos" means " the anointed one". This of course is the Greek word used in the New Testament for Jesus, the anointed one which is in turn a translation of the Hebrew "messiah".

In Hebrew it is called mah-shee-akh (משיח), which is where we derived Messiah.

The Koine translation was dubbed as Christos (technically tou Christou, or ho Christos).
