Etymology
The term 'Christian' originated from the Greek word 'Christianos', which means 'follower of Christ'. It was first used in Antioch to describe the followers of Jesus Christ. Christianity began as a sect of Judaism in the 1st century AD and eventually became a separate religion. Today, Christians make up a significant portion of the world's population, with different denominations and beliefs.
