::Loosely translated, "Christos" means messiah in (transliterated) Greek. It's descended from "chriein" meaning "annoit". So, yes, Jews are still waiting for Christ. The proper term is still "messiah", though, as it is the equivalent Hebrew term (parallel etymologies even! See [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/messiah Merriam-Webster] for [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/christ both]).
