Actually, from what I recall reading years ago, X actually meant Christ. Anyone else hear that?

I heard that, too.

From the Greek letter "chi" which is "X' shaped, both for the sound and because the "X" reminded people of the Cross.

You are correct. In addition, Christ, spelled out in Greek, may also start with the letter chi. To see a capital chi, go into Word, type a capital C, highlight it, and change the font to Symbol.
