Jesus of Nazareth, who lived from about 4 BC to around 30AD. He was called 'The Christ' ("the Messiah" or 'one who saves') - hence the term 'Christ-ian'.

Christians believe that he is the one saviour of God, divine and God in human form whilst he was on earth. he was crucified by the Roman authorities, but three days later rose again. His followers reported seeing him on many occasions and began to spread the word of God's salvation for all people. The Christian Church then spread across the Roman Empire within just a few tears, thanks to the followers of jesus, and, especially Paul who founded many churches across the Mediterranean area.
