What are the origins of the last name Christ?
My last name is Christ. I get all sorts of Jesus jokes because of this and they got old a long time ago so i want to know where it comes from. Whenever I try though it just comes up with a bunch of religious mumbo jumbo that is not at all what I'm looking for. My family came from germany if you go far enough back and there is a jewellry store based out of Munich or somewhere called Christ jewellers. That's all I know and anything you can add would make my past that much clearer
