FYI author-san might be just using Christ analogous to Christoff/Christian, possibly a nickname, and in that situation it would be like christy minus the "y"
The Jesus jokes are too easy to pass up tho, praise the Lawd!
Christ? Really? Is that the most likely name? Not something like "Cristo" or "Chris"?
I mean, if he appears with a crucifix and starts walking on water, okay then, but... Seems like a very bad romanization choice.
