Name after name, men, prophets, apostles, and priest were named because of a circumstance, expectations, or hope. Jesus Christ was named because of a mission and a promised assignment and expectant event.

Therefore, God hath given Him a name.  God hath highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above every name. God gave him this name because He alone knew what the world needed. He alone knew what the mission for the salvation of the world would be.

Philippians 2:6-11
“Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus is the propitiation for our sins, but not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. So He is named for the purpose, named to be our savior. Christ meant the “anointed one”. Jesus means “Savior” thus, Jesus Christ is the Anointed Savior of the World!

Ephesians 1:19-22
“and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church.
