I try to avoid this board because I've lost faith, hope and charity. But I wanted to ask what may seem to be a stupid question. Could anyone tell me if Jesus Crhist had a family name.His earthly father was Joseph. But is there any record of Christ having a given family name? I suspect it was aramaic. And I know he was referred to as Jesus of Nazareth. But did folks of the place and era have names such as we now have. This may seem to be a fatuous request, but I'd appreciate if some one could direct me toward an answer. Thanks, Cockeyed.
