Christos means "the Christ". The word Christ is one of the titles given to Jesus of Nazareth who was called "Jesus the Christ" which was shortened to "Jesus Christ". The term Christ is often used synonymously with the word Messiah; however, it is my understanding that the word Christ carries a connotation similar to that of Emanuel (God with us) whereas Messiah refers to the Chosen One of Israel. All of these terms reference the same person - Jesus of Nazareth.
