“Christian” (Χρῑστῐᾱνός) is described as meaning “followers of Christ” and is first associated with Antioch in Acts 11:26.
The terms “Christian” and “Christianity” are traced to Greek usage connected to followers of Jesus. Early Jewish Christians referred to themselves as “The Way,” while the specific label “Christian” (Greek: Χρῑστῐᾱνός, Khrīstiānós) is described as meaning “followers of Christ” and as first being used in Antioch, according to Acts 11:26, by the non-Jewish inhabitants there. The name “Christianity” (Greek: Χρῑστῐᾱνισμός, Khrīstiānismós) is noted as having an early recorded use by Ignatius of Antioch around 100 CE. The underlying name “Jesus” itself is said to come from Ancient Greek (Ἰησοῦς, Iēsous), likely derived from Hebrew/Aramaic (יֵשׁוּעַ, Yēšūaʿ).
