Is "Christ" a title or a name?

Is "Jesus" the first name, and "Christ" the last name?

We all believe that "Father", "Son" and "Holy Ghost" are titles, but is "Christ" also a title? When we baptize in the name of Jesus Christ, are we saying his name and title?

From the Catholic Encyclopedia:

The name "Jesus" is an Anglicization of the Greek Ίησους (Iēsous), itself a Hellenization of the Hebrew יהושע (Yehoshua) or Hebrew-Aramaic ישוע (Yeshua), meaning "YHWH rescues". "Christ" is a title derived from the Greek Χριστός (Christós), meaning the "Anointed One," which corresponds to the Hebrew-derived "Messiah".[5]
