The term "Christ" is derived from the Greek word "Christos," meaning "the Anointed One," and is used specifically to refer to Jesus in Christian theology. In contrast, "Messiah" comes from the Hebrew word "Mashiach," which also means "anointed one" and is used in Jewish tradition to denote a future leader who is expected to bring peace and restore Israel. While both terms suggest an anointed savior, "Christ" is primarily associated with Jesus' role in Christianity, while "Messiah" is more broadly applicable in Jewish eschatology.
