Maybe he'll go the Theismann route and change the pronunciation?
I don't think it's pronounced "Christ" though...

As far as I know, Crist is the Celtic word for Christ.

 

 

 

What is celtic? The Irish for Christ is Críost

 

Some believe crist is a Celtic word meaning "ridge", a cognate of Latin crista and modern French crête, in which case the meaning of Cristoïlum would be "clearing on the ridge" or "place on the ridge." A more traditional etymology was that crist referred to Jesus Christ, due to the very ancient presence of Christianity in Créteil and the veneration of Saint Agoard and Saint Aglibert, martyred in Créteil around AD 400.

Are Gaelic and Celtic the same?

 

 

Gaelic is generally used to describe the Gaelic language speaking areas of both Ireland and Scotland. Celtic on the other hand is usually used to describe the linguistic group of Celtic languages and the culture of the areas where such languages are still spoken (Celtic languages are Irish or Gaelic, Scots Gaelic, Welsh, Breton, Cornish and Manx). There was also a Celtic church for many centuries until it was absorbed into the Roman church in the 600s AD. In Ireland the Gaelic speaking areas are in the West and in Scotland Scots Gaelic is spoken in parts of the Highlands and the Western Isles.

 

In other words, Gaelic is Scottish and Irish, Celtic is the barbarians of Ireland before St. Patrick.
