They named Him after his Dad - you know "Our Father, who art in heaven, Howard be thy name..."
Or maybe it's Harold. "Hark - the Harold! - angels sing.."

29. I don't think the middle initial is anywhere in the Scriptures |
|
Though I used to think so when I was a kid, because my dad always called Him by that name (or said that He was on a crutch, for some reason) when he was pissed off.
If Jesus had a middle name, it was probably Emmanuel, since that name is also used to describe Him a few times in the Bible. Guess "Jesus E. Christ" just doesn't have the same ring to it? :shrug:

40. I found this on google. |
|
(1) It stands for "Haploid." This is an old bio major joke, referring to the unique (not to say immaculate) circumstances of Christ's conception. Having no biological father, J.C. was shortchanged in the chromosome department to the tune of one half. Ingenious, I'll admit, but whimsy has no place in a serious investigation such as this.
(2) It recalls the H in the IHS logo emblazoned on much Christian paraphernalia. IHS dates from the earliest years of Christianity, being an abbreviation of "Jesus" in classical Greek characters. The Greek pronunciation is "Iesous," with the E sound being represented by the character eta, which looks like an H. When the symbol passed to Christian Romans, for whom an H was an H, the unaccountable character eventually became accepted as Jesus's middle initial.
(3) Finally, a reader makes the claim that the H derives from the taunting Latin inscription INRH that was supposedly tacked on the cross by Roman soldiers: Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Hebrei (Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Hebrews). Trouble is, the inscription is usually given as INRI: Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum (J.C., King of the Jews).
Nonetheless, this is the kind of creative thinking I like to see from my Teeming Millions. With every passing day, my mission on this earth comes closer to completion.

"Christ" is not the dude's last name. It means "the anointed one". So his name is Jesus H., the anointed one. Hence, the "H." is his goddamn last name, not his middle name. He seems to have had no middle name.

48. The real answer is probably: Yeshua Ben Yosef meaning Jesus son of Joseph. |

At least that's the word out on the street of Nazareth.
