Christos (Χριστός) is the Greek Word for Christ, which means literally "The Anointed One". The word was originally used to translate the Hebrew word מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ), that is [[Messiah]].
The spelling "Christ" in English dates from the 17th century, when, in the spirit of the enlightenment, spellings of certain words were changed to fit their Greek or Latin origins. Prior to this, in Old and Middle English, the word was spelled Crist.
