Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources
Built on the title Christ, so it is counted as a name of another religion. No source read rules on the name. Some fatwas (IslamWeb 266275 and 301771) call names peculiar to another faith impermissible for a Muslim; others (SeekersGuidance) allow foreign names unless their meaning expresses disbelief. Scholars differ.
