Jesus is Greek for the Hebrew name of Joshua and it means "Jehovah is our salvation." 1 Christ is not a name but a title. It means "The Anointed One." The name of Mary is Greek for the Hebrew name of Miriam.2 This was a very popular name among the Jews, probably because the prophets had said this would be the name of the mother of the Lord. It is not only mentioned in this verse but also in Alma 7:10. Now the angel speaks of the crucifixion and the resurrection.
