Hardly -- you just made a few slips in this -- the hammeshiah threw me off -- it looks exactly like Persian. But the word Christus is really old -- from Apostolic times and it is in Greek which was the lingua Franca (along with Aramaic) of the Middle East during the time of Jesus Christ and the apostles.

Yes. The New Testament was originally written in Greek. My point was, we don’t normally translate proper nouns (names).
Giuseppi Verdi does not become “Joe Green”on English. In Spanish, William Shakespeare is still “William Shakespeare”. We don’t translate names. But in translating the Bible into Latin, Miriam became “Maria”. Jeshua became “Jesus”.
So, you’re saying it happened when the writers of the New Testament translated Hebrew into Greek.
