?Christus is a Greek term not Latin -- the Hebrew term is Mashiah. The terms in English are synonymous: Christ=Messiah. However, the first term the "Christians" were called anything was named after Christus

Finally, Pope Damasus did not do this name change as the term originates from the Greek during Apostolic times
