The anointed one
Messias is the Greek and Latin form of the Hebrew word Mashiach, referring to a promised savior or 'anointed one.' While the English form Messiah is more common, this variant is frequently used in Portuguese-speaking and Spanish-speaking cultures. It carries deep religious significance as a title for a spiritual leader or redeemer.
