What is the original meaning of the Greek word Cristos?

according to google translate it means chris

Answer:

"Xristos" is not Greek. It looks like a half-wrong transliteration of the Greek word "Χριστός", which in the Latin alphabet is properly Christos or Khristos. Which, in English, is Christ -- as in Jesus.

And Google is pretty close :D The name Chris comes from either Christian or Christopher, both of which point back to Christ, and Χριστός.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

Χριστός [Chrιstos] (=Christ) means the one who has the chrism(a) (not charisma) (χρίσμα=the sacred oil applied trough the baptism), the anointed one. As a proper name in Greek is used only to refer to Jesus Christ. Some derivatives are used for common people names such as Χριστόφορος (Christ's bearer = Christopher), Χριστόδουλος (Christ's servant) and sometimes are shortened to Χρίστος [Chrιstos].

However, it's widely confused with the name ΧρήστοςXrhstos [Chreestos], name of a totally different origin. Χρήστος < χρηστός [chreestos] = the ethical, the moral, the one with proper manners (see the expression χρηστά ήθη [chreesta ethe] = the proper morals/ethics)
