Well, actually, the greek term "christos" just means "anointed".  Some folks have connected it with "messiah" (savior, redeemer).  Its usage certainly predates Jesus of Nazareth.  Mithras was referred to as "christos".  I remember reading somewhere that Alexander the Great and Constantine were, at some point, as well, but I don't have time to confirm that right now.  But "Christ" is a descriptive adjective, not Jesus' last name.
